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 483,023,435, 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 | 483,023,435 | |
| -1 | -483,023,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 483,023,435.
Example:
1 x 483,023,435 = 483,023,435
and
-1 x -483,023,435 = 483,023,435
Notice both answers equal 483,023,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 483,023,435 and divide it by 2:
483,023,435 ÷ 2 = 241,511,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 241,511,717.5 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 | 483,023,435 | |
| -1 | -483,023,435 |
Now, we try dividing 483,023,435 by 3:
483,023,435 ÷ 3 = 161,007,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 161,007,811.6667 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 | 483,023,435 | |
| -1 | -483,023,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
483,023,435 ÷ 4 = 120,755,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,755,858.75 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 | 483,023,435 | |
| -1 | 483,023,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 335 | 1,009 | 1,429 | 5,045 | 7,145 | 67,603 | 95,743 | 338,015 | 478,715 | 1,441,861 | 7,209,305 | 96,604,687 | 483,023,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -335 | -1,009 | -1,429 | -5,045 | -7,145 | -67,603 | -95,743 | -338,015 | -478,715 | -1,441,861 | -7,209,305 | -96,604,687 | -483,023,435 |
