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 506,135,375, 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 | 506,135,375 | |
| -1 | -506,135,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 506,135,375.
Example:
1 x 506,135,375 = 506,135,375
and
-1 x -506,135,375 = 506,135,375
Notice both answers equal 506,135,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 506,135,375 and divide it by 2:
506,135,375 ÷ 2 = 253,067,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 253,067,687.5 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 | 506,135,375 | |
| -1 | -506,135,375 |
Now, we try dividing 506,135,375 by 3:
506,135,375 ÷ 3 = 168,711,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 168,711,791.6667 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 | 506,135,375 | |
| -1 | -506,135,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
506,135,375 ÷ 4 = 126,533,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 126,533,843.75 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 | 506,135,375 | |
| -1 | 506,135,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 163 | 815 | 4,075 | 20,375 | 24,841 | 124,205 | 621,025 | 3,105,125 | 4,049,083 | 20,245,415 | 101,227,075 | 506,135,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -163 | -815 | -4,075 | -20,375 | -24,841 | -124,205 | -621,025 | -3,105,125 | -4,049,083 | -20,245,415 | -101,227,075 | -506,135,375 |
