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 483,125,315, 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 | 483,125,315 | |
| -1 | -483,125,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 483,125,315.
Example:
1 x 483,125,315 = 483,125,315
and
-1 x -483,125,315 = 483,125,315
Notice both answers equal 483,125,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 483,125,315 and divide it by 2:
483,125,315 ÷ 2 = 241,562,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 241,562,657.5 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 | 483,125,315 | |
| -1 | -483,125,315 |
Now, we try dividing 483,125,315 by 3:
483,125,315 ÷ 3 = 161,041,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 161,041,771.6667 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 | 483,125,315 | |
| -1 | -483,125,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
483,125,315 ÷ 4 = 120,781,328.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 120,781,328.75 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 | 483,125,315 | |
| -1 | 483,125,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 73 | 365 | 653 | 2,027 | 3,265 | 10,135 | 47,669 | 147,971 | 238,345 | 739,855 | 1,323,631 | 6,618,155 | 96,625,063 | 483,125,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -73 | -365 | -653 | -2,027 | -3,265 | -10,135 | -47,669 | -147,971 | -238,345 | -739,855 | -1,323,631 | -6,618,155 | -96,625,063 | -483,125,315 |
