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 474,064,003, 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 | 474,064,003 | |
| -1 | -474,064,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 474,064,003.
Example:
1 x 474,064,003 = 474,064,003
and
-1 x -474,064,003 = 474,064,003
Notice both answers equal 474,064,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 474,064,003 and divide it by 2:
474,064,003 ÷ 2 = 237,032,001.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 237,032,001.5 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 | 474,064,003 | |
| -1 | -474,064,003 |
Now, we try dividing 474,064,003 by 3:
474,064,003 ÷ 3 = 158,021,334.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 158,021,334.3333 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 | 474,064,003 | |
| -1 | -474,064,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
474,064,003 ÷ 4 = 118,516,000.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 118,516,000.75 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 | 474,064,003 | |
| -1 | 474,064,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 101 | 133 | 707 | 1,919 | 13,433 | 35,291 | 247,037 | 670,529 | 3,564,391 | 4,693,703 | 24,950,737 | 67,723,429 | 474,064,003 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -101 | -133 | -707 | -1,919 | -13,433 | -35,291 | -247,037 | -670,529 | -3,564,391 | -4,693,703 | -24,950,737 | -67,723,429 | -474,064,003 |
