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 526,523,003, 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 | 526,523,003 | |
| -1 | -526,523,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 526,523,003.
Example:
1 x 526,523,003 = 526,523,003
and
-1 x -526,523,003 = 526,523,003
Notice both answers equal 526,523,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 526,523,003 and divide it by 2:
526,523,003 ÷ 2 = 263,261,501.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 263,261,501.5 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 | 526,523,003 | |
| -1 | -526,523,003 |
Now, we try dividing 526,523,003 by 3:
526,523,003 ÷ 3 = 175,507,667.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 175,507,667.6667 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 | 526,523,003 | |
| -1 | -526,523,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
526,523,003 ÷ 4 = 131,630,750.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 131,630,750.75 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 | 526,523,003 | |
| -1 | 526,523,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 43 | 589 | 817 | 1,333 | 20,789 | 25,327 | 394,991 | 644,459 | 893,927 | 12,244,721 | 16,984,613 | 27,711,737 | 526,523,003 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -43 | -589 | -817 | -1,333 | -20,789 | -25,327 | -394,991 | -644,459 | -893,927 | -12,244,721 | -16,984,613 | -27,711,737 | -526,523,003 |
