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 482,085,635, 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 | 482,085,635 | |
| -1 | -482,085,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 482,085,635.
Example:
1 x 482,085,635 = 482,085,635
and
-1 x -482,085,635 = 482,085,635
Notice both answers equal 482,085,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 482,085,635 and divide it by 2:
482,085,635 ÷ 2 = 241,042,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 241,042,817.5 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 | 482,085,635 | |
| -1 | -482,085,635 |
Now, we try dividing 482,085,635 by 3:
482,085,635 ÷ 3 = 160,695,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 160,695,211.6667 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 | 482,085,635 | |
| -1 | -482,085,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
482,085,635 ÷ 4 = 120,521,408.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,521,408.75 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 | 482,085,635 | |
| -1 | 482,085,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 97 | 115 | 485 | 529 | 1,879 | 2,231 | 2,645 | 9,395 | 11,155 | 43,217 | 51,313 | 182,263 | 216,085 | 256,565 | 911,315 | 993,991 | 4,192,049 | 4,969,955 | 20,960,245 | 96,417,127 | 482,085,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -97 | -115 | -485 | -529 | -1,879 | -2,231 | -2,645 | -9,395 | -11,155 | -43,217 | -51,313 | -182,263 | -216,085 | -256,565 | -911,315 | -993,991 | -4,192,049 | -4,969,955 | -20,960,245 | -96,417,127 | -482,085,635 |
