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 525,341,141, 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 | 525,341,141 | |
| -1 | -525,341,141 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 525,341,141.
Example:
1 x 525,341,141 = 525,341,141
and
-1 x -525,341,141 = 525,341,141
Notice both answers equal 525,341,141
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 525,341,141 and divide it by 2:
525,341,141 ÷ 2 = 262,670,570.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 262,670,570.5 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 | 525,341,141 | |
| -1 | -525,341,141 |
Now, we try dividing 525,341,141 by 3:
525,341,141 ÷ 3 = 175,113,713.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 175,113,713.6667 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 | 525,341,141 | |
| -1 | -525,341,141 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
525,341,141 ÷ 4 = 131,335,285.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 131,335,285.25 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 | 525,341,141 | |
| -1 | 525,341,141 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 53 | 71 | 689 | 923 | 3,763 | 10,739 | 48,919 | 139,607 | 569,167 | 762,469 | 7,399,171 | 9,912,097 | 40,410,857 | 525,341,141 |
| -1 | -13 | -53 | -71 | -689 | -923 | -3,763 | -10,739 | -48,919 | -139,607 | -569,167 | -762,469 | -7,399,171 | -9,912,097 | -40,410,857 | -525,341,141 |
