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 464,744,345, 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 | 464,744,345 | |
| -1 | -464,744,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 464,744,345.
Example:
1 x 464,744,345 = 464,744,345
and
-1 x -464,744,345 = 464,744,345
Notice both answers equal 464,744,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 464,744,345 and divide it by 2:
464,744,345 ÷ 2 = 232,372,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,372,172.5 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 | 464,744,345 | |
| -1 | -464,744,345 |
Now, we try dividing 464,744,345 by 3:
464,744,345 ÷ 3 = 154,914,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 154,914,781.6667 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 | 464,744,345 | |
| -1 | -464,744,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
464,744,345 ÷ 4 = 116,186,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,186,086.25 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 | 464,744,345 | |
| -1 | 464,744,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 71 | 355 | 923 | 4,615 | 100,703 | 503,515 | 1,309,139 | 6,545,695 | 7,149,913 | 35,749,565 | 92,948,869 | 464,744,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -71 | -355 | -923 | -4,615 | -100,703 | -503,515 | -1,309,139 | -6,545,695 | -7,149,913 | -35,749,565 | -92,948,869 | -464,744,345 |
