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 513,233,633, 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 | 513,233,633 | |
| -1 | -513,233,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 513,233,633.
Example:
1 x 513,233,633 = 513,233,633
and
-1 x -513,233,633 = 513,233,633
Notice both answers equal 513,233,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 513,233,633 and divide it by 2:
513,233,633 ÷ 2 = 256,616,816.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 256,616,816.5 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 | 513,233,633 | |
| -1 | -513,233,633 |
Now, we try dividing 513,233,633 by 3:
513,233,633 ÷ 3 = 171,077,877.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 171,077,877.6667 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 | 513,233,633 | |
| -1 | -513,233,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
513,233,633 ÷ 4 = 128,308,408.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 128,308,408.25 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 | 513,233,633 | |
| -1 | 513,233,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 179 | 277 | 941 | 1,969 | 3,047 | 10,351 | 49,583 | 168,439 | 260,657 | 545,413 | 1,852,829 | 2,867,227 | 46,657,603 | 513,233,633 |
| -1 | -11 | -179 | -277 | -941 | -1,969 | -3,047 | -10,351 | -49,583 | -168,439 | -260,657 | -545,413 | -1,852,829 | -2,867,227 | -46,657,603 | -513,233,633 |
