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 481,027,855, 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 | 481,027,855 | |
| -1 | -481,027,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 481,027,855.
Example:
1 x 481,027,855 = 481,027,855
and
-1 x -481,027,855 = 481,027,855
Notice both answers equal 481,027,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 481,027,855 and divide it by 2:
481,027,855 ÷ 2 = 240,513,927.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 240,513,927.5 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 | 481,027,855 | |
| -1 | -481,027,855 |
Now, we try dividing 481,027,855 by 3:
481,027,855 ÷ 3 = 160,342,618.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 160,342,618.3333 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 | 481,027,855 | |
| -1 | -481,027,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
481,027,855 ÷ 4 = 120,256,963.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,256,963.75 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 | 481,027,855 | |
| -1 | 481,027,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 49 | 55 | 77 | 245 | 385 | 539 | 2,695 | 178,489 | 892,445 | 1,249,423 | 1,963,379 | 6,247,115 | 8,745,961 | 9,816,895 | 13,743,653 | 43,729,805 | 68,718,265 | 96,205,571 | 481,027,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -49 | -55 | -77 | -245 | -385 | -539 | -2,695 | -178,489 | -892,445 | -1,249,423 | -1,963,379 | -6,247,115 | -8,745,961 | -9,816,895 | -13,743,653 | -43,729,805 | -68,718,265 | -96,205,571 | -481,027,855 |
