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 466,075,643, 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 | 466,075,643 | |
| -1 | -466,075,643 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 466,075,643.
Example:
1 x 466,075,643 = 466,075,643
and
-1 x -466,075,643 = 466,075,643
Notice both answers equal 466,075,643
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 466,075,643 and divide it by 2:
466,075,643 ÷ 2 = 233,037,821.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 233,037,821.5 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 | 466,075,643 | |
| -1 | -466,075,643 |
Now, we try dividing 466,075,643 by 3:
466,075,643 ÷ 3 = 155,358,547.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 155,358,547.6667 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 | 466,075,643 | |
| -1 | -466,075,643 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
466,075,643 ÷ 4 = 116,518,910.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,518,910.75 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 | 466,075,643 | |
| -1 | 466,075,643 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 37 | 209 | 407 | 703 | 7,733 | 60,271 | 662,981 | 1,145,149 | 2,230,027 | 12,596,639 | 24,530,297 | 42,370,513 | 466,075,643 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -37 | -209 | -407 | -703 | -7,733 | -60,271 | -662,981 | -1,145,149 | -2,230,027 | -12,596,639 | -24,530,297 | -42,370,513 | -466,075,643 |
