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 464,323,105, 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 | 464,323,105 | |
| -1 | -464,323,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,323,105.
Example:
1 x 464,323,105 = 464,323,105
and
-1 x -464,323,105 = 464,323,105
Notice both answers equal 464,323,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,323,105 and divide it by 2:
464,323,105 ÷ 2 = 232,161,552.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,161,552.5 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 | 464,323,105 | |
| -1 | -464,323,105 |
Now, we try dividing 464,323,105 by 3:
464,323,105 ÷ 3 = 154,774,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,774,368.3333 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 | 464,323,105 | |
| -1 | -464,323,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,323,105 ÷ 4 = 116,080,776.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,080,776.25 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 | 464,323,105 | |
| -1 | 464,323,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 109 | 235 | 545 | 5,123 | 18,127 | 25,615 | 90,635 | 851,969 | 1,975,843 | 4,259,845 | 9,879,215 | 92,864,621 | 464,323,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -109 | -235 | -545 | -5,123 | -18,127 | -25,615 | -90,635 | -851,969 | -1,975,843 | -4,259,845 | -9,879,215 | -92,864,621 | -464,323,105 |
