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 464,364,407, 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 | 464,364,407 | |
| -1 | -464,364,407 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,364,407.
Example:
1 x 464,364,407 = 464,364,407
and
-1 x -464,364,407 = 464,364,407
Notice both answers equal 464,364,407
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,364,407 and divide it by 2:
464,364,407 ÷ 2 = 232,182,203.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,182,203.5 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 | 464,364,407 | |
| -1 | -464,364,407 |
Now, we try dividing 464,364,407 by 3:
464,364,407 ÷ 3 = 154,788,135.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,788,135.6667 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 | 464,364,407 | |
| -1 | -464,364,407 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,364,407 ÷ 4 = 116,091,101.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,091,101.75 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 | 464,364,407 | |
| -1 | 464,364,407 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 403 | 577 | 1,997 | 7,501 | 17,887 | 25,961 | 61,907 | 232,531 | 804,791 | 1,152,269 | 14,979,497 | 35,720,339 | 464,364,407 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -403 | -577 | -1,997 | -7,501 | -17,887 | -25,961 | -61,907 | -232,531 | -804,791 | -1,152,269 | -14,979,497 | -35,720,339 | -464,364,407 |
