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 466,076,807, 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 | 466,076,807 | |
| -1 | -466,076,807 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 466,076,807.
Example:
1 x 466,076,807 = 466,076,807
and
-1 x -466,076,807 = 466,076,807
Notice both answers equal 466,076,807
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 466,076,807 and divide it by 2:
466,076,807 ÷ 2 = 233,038,403.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 233,038,403.5 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 | 466,076,807 | |
| -1 | -466,076,807 |
Now, we try dividing 466,076,807 by 3:
466,076,807 ÷ 3 = 155,358,935.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 155,358,935.6667 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 | 466,076,807 | |
| -1 | -466,076,807 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
466,076,807 ÷ 4 = 116,519,201.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,519,201.75 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 | 466,076,807 | |
| -1 | 466,076,807 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 41 | 161 | 287 | 943 | 6,601 | 70,607 | 494,249 | 1,623,961 | 2,894,887 | 11,367,727 | 20,264,209 | 66,582,401 | 466,076,807 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -41 | -161 | -287 | -943 | -6,601 | -70,607 | -494,249 | -1,623,961 | -2,894,887 | -11,367,727 | -20,264,209 | -66,582,401 | -466,076,807 |
