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 481,410,505, 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 | 481,410,505 | |
| -1 | -481,410,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 481,410,505.
Example:
1 x 481,410,505 = 481,410,505
and
-1 x -481,410,505 = 481,410,505
Notice both answers equal 481,410,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 481,410,505 and divide it by 2:
481,410,505 ÷ 2 = 240,705,252.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 240,705,252.5 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 | 481,410,505 | |
| -1 | -481,410,505 |
Now, we try dividing 481,410,505 by 3:
481,410,505 ÷ 3 = 160,470,168.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 160,470,168.3333 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 | 481,410,505 | |
| -1 | -481,410,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
481,410,505 ÷ 4 = 120,352,626.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,352,626.25 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 | 481,410,505 | |
| -1 | 481,410,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,615 | 298,087 | 1,490,435 | 5,067,479 | 5,663,653 | 25,337,395 | 28,318,265 | 96,282,101 | 481,410,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,615 | -298,087 | -1,490,435 | -5,067,479 | -5,663,653 | -25,337,395 | -28,318,265 | -96,282,101 | -481,410,505 |
