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 522,775,379, 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 | 522,775,379 | |
| -1 | -522,775,379 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 522,775,379.
Example:
1 x 522,775,379 = 522,775,379
and
-1 x -522,775,379 = 522,775,379
Notice both answers equal 522,775,379
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 522,775,379 and divide it by 2:
522,775,379 ÷ 2 = 261,387,689.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 261,387,689.5 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 | 522,775,379 | |
| -1 | -522,775,379 |
Now, we try dividing 522,775,379 by 3:
522,775,379 ÷ 3 = 174,258,459.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 174,258,459.6667 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 | 522,775,379 | |
| -1 | -522,775,379 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
522,775,379 ÷ 4 = 130,693,844.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 130,693,844.75 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 | 522,775,379 | |
| -1 | 522,775,379 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 173 | 287 | 1,211 | 7,093 | 10,529 | 49,651 | 73,703 | 431,689 | 1,821,517 | 3,021,823 | 12,750,619 | 74,682,197 | 522,775,379 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -173 | -287 | -1,211 | -7,093 | -10,529 | -49,651 | -73,703 | -431,689 | -1,821,517 | -3,021,823 | -12,750,619 | -74,682,197 | -522,775,379 |
