Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 464,166,209, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 464,166,209 | |
| -1 | -464,166,209 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,166,209.
Example:
1 x 464,166,209 = 464,166,209
and
-1 x -464,166,209 = 464,166,209
Notice both answers equal 464,166,209
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,166,209 and divide it by 2:
464,166,209 ÷ 2 = 232,083,104.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,083,104.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 464,166,209 | |
| -1 | -464,166,209 |
Now, we try dividing 464,166,209 by 3:
464,166,209 ÷ 3 = 154,722,069.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,722,069.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 464,166,209 | |
| -1 | -464,166,209 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,166,209 ÷ 4 = 116,041,552.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,041,552.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 464,166,209 | |
| -1 | 464,166,209 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 53 | 559 | 689 | 2,279 | 15,667 | 29,627 | 203,671 | 673,681 | 830,351 | 8,757,853 | 10,794,563 | 35,705,093 | 464,166,209 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -53 | -559 | -689 | -2,279 | -15,667 | -29,627 | -203,671 | -673,681 | -830,351 | -8,757,853 | -10,794,563 | -35,705,093 | -464,166,209 |
