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 483,007,603, 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 | 483,007,603 | |
| -1 | -483,007,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 483,007,603.
Example:
1 x 483,007,603 = 483,007,603
and
-1 x -483,007,603 = 483,007,603
Notice both answers equal 483,007,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 483,007,603 and divide it by 2:
483,007,603 ÷ 2 = 241,503,801.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 241,503,801.5 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 | 483,007,603 | |
| -1 | -483,007,603 |
Now, we try dividing 483,007,603 by 3:
483,007,603 ÷ 3 = 161,002,534.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 161,002,534.3333 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 | 483,007,603 | |
| -1 | -483,007,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
483,007,603 ÷ 4 = 120,751,900.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,751,900.75 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 | 483,007,603 | |
| -1 | 483,007,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 53 | 433 | 689 | 1,619 | 5,629 | 21,047 | 22,949 | 85,807 | 298,337 | 701,027 | 1,115,491 | 9,113,351 | 37,154,431 | 483,007,603 |
| -1 | -13 | -53 | -433 | -689 | -1,619 | -5,629 | -21,047 | -22,949 | -85,807 | -298,337 | -701,027 | -1,115,491 | -9,113,351 | -37,154,431 | -483,007,603 |
