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 514,136,029, 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 | 514,136,029 | |
| -1 | -514,136,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 514,136,029.
Example:
1 x 514,136,029 = 514,136,029
and
-1 x -514,136,029 = 514,136,029
Notice both answers equal 514,136,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 514,136,029 and divide it by 2:
514,136,029 ÷ 2 = 257,068,014.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 257,068,014.5 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 | 514,136,029 | |
| -1 | -514,136,029 |
Now, we try dividing 514,136,029 by 3:
514,136,029 ÷ 3 = 171,378,676.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 171,378,676.3333 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 | 514,136,029 | |
| -1 | -514,136,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
514,136,029 ÷ 4 = 128,534,007.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 128,534,007.25 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 | 514,136,029 | |
| -1 | 514,136,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 79 | 209 | 869 | 1,501 | 16,511 | 31,139 | 342,529 | 591,641 | 2,459,981 | 6,508,051 | 27,059,791 | 46,739,639 | 514,136,029 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -79 | -209 | -869 | -1,501 | -16,511 | -31,139 | -342,529 | -591,641 | -2,459,981 | -6,508,051 | -27,059,791 | -46,739,639 | -514,136,029 |
