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 464,510,059, 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 | 464,510,059 | |
| -1 | -464,510,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,510,059.
Example:
1 x 464,510,059 = 464,510,059
and
-1 x -464,510,059 = 464,510,059
Notice both answers equal 464,510,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,510,059 and divide it by 2:
464,510,059 ÷ 2 = 232,255,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,255,029.5 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 | 464,510,059 | |
| -1 | -464,510,059 |
Now, we try dividing 464,510,059 by 3:
464,510,059 ÷ 3 = 154,836,686.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,836,686.3333 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 | 464,510,059 | |
| -1 | -464,510,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,510,059 ÷ 4 = 116,127,514.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,127,514.75 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 | 464,510,059 | |
| -1 | 464,510,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 61 | 491 | 793 | 1,193 | 6,383 | 15,509 | 29,951 | 72,773 | 389,363 | 585,763 | 946,049 | 7,614,919 | 35,731,543 | 464,510,059 |
| -1 | -13 | -61 | -491 | -793 | -1,193 | -6,383 | -15,509 | -29,951 | -72,773 | -389,363 | -585,763 | -946,049 | -7,614,919 | -35,731,543 | -464,510,059 |
