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 465,513,053, 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 | 465,513,053 | |
| -1 | -465,513,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 465,513,053.
Example:
1 x 465,513,053 = 465,513,053
and
-1 x -465,513,053 = 465,513,053
Notice both answers equal 465,513,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 465,513,053 and divide it by 2:
465,513,053 ÷ 2 = 232,756,526.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 232,756,526.5 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 | 465,513,053 | |
| -1 | -465,513,053 |
Now, we try dividing 465,513,053 by 3:
465,513,053 ÷ 3 = 155,171,017.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 155,171,017.6667 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 | 465,513,053 | |
| -1 | -465,513,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
465,513,053 ÷ 4 = 116,378,263.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,378,263.25 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 | 465,513,053 | |
| -1 | 465,513,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 83 | 211 | 1,399 | 1,577 | 4,009 | 17,513 | 26,581 | 116,117 | 295,189 | 332,747 | 2,206,223 | 5,608,591 | 24,500,687 | 465,513,053 |
| -1 | -19 | -83 | -211 | -1,399 | -1,577 | -4,009 | -17,513 | -26,581 | -116,117 | -295,189 | -332,747 | -2,206,223 | -5,608,591 | -24,500,687 | -465,513,053 |
