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 466,111,165, 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 | 466,111,165 | |
| -1 | -466,111,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 466,111,165.
Example:
1 x 466,111,165 = 466,111,165
and
-1 x -466,111,165 = 466,111,165
Notice both answers equal 466,111,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 466,111,165 and divide it by 2:
466,111,165 ÷ 2 = 233,055,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 233,055,582.5 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 | 466,111,165 | |
| -1 | -466,111,165 |
Now, we try dividing 466,111,165 by 3:
466,111,165 ÷ 3 = 155,370,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 155,370,388.3333 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 | 466,111,165 | |
| -1 | -466,111,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
466,111,165 ÷ 4 = 116,527,791.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,527,791.25 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 | 466,111,165 | |
| -1 | 466,111,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 41 | 65 | 205 | 533 | 2,665 | 174,901 | 874,505 | 2,273,713 | 7,170,941 | 11,368,565 | 35,854,705 | 93,222,233 | 466,111,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -41 | -65 | -205 | -533 | -2,665 | -174,901 | -874,505 | -2,273,713 | -7,170,941 | -11,368,565 | -35,854,705 | -93,222,233 | -466,111,165 |
