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 464,613,305, 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 | 464,613,305 | |
| -1 | -464,613,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,613,305.
Example:
1 x 464,613,305 = 464,613,305
and
-1 x -464,613,305 = 464,613,305
Notice both answers equal 464,613,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,613,305 and divide it by 2:
464,613,305 ÷ 2 = 232,306,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,306,652.5 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 | 464,613,305 | |
| -1 | -464,613,305 |
Now, we try dividing 464,613,305 by 3:
464,613,305 ÷ 3 = 154,871,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,871,101.6667 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 | 464,613,305 | |
| -1 | -464,613,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,613,305 ÷ 4 = 116,153,326.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,153,326.25 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 | 464,613,305 | |
| -1 | 464,613,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 353 | 1,765 | 4,589 | 20,249 | 22,945 | 101,245 | 263,237 | 1,316,185 | 7,147,897 | 35,739,485 | 92,922,661 | 464,613,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -353 | -1,765 | -4,589 | -20,249 | -22,945 | -101,245 | -263,237 | -1,316,185 | -7,147,897 | -35,739,485 | -92,922,661 | -464,613,305 |
