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 530,133,527, 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 | 530,133,527 | |
| -1 | -530,133,527 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 530,133,527.
Example:
1 x 530,133,527 = 530,133,527
and
-1 x -530,133,527 = 530,133,527
Notice both answers equal 530,133,527
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 530,133,527 and divide it by 2:
530,133,527 ÷ 2 = 265,066,763.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 265,066,763.5 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 | 530,133,527 | |
| -1 | -530,133,527 |
Now, we try dividing 530,133,527 by 3:
530,133,527 ÷ 3 = 176,711,175.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 176,711,175.6667 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 | 530,133,527 | |
| -1 | -530,133,527 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
530,133,527 ÷ 4 = 132,533,381.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 132,533,381.75 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 | 530,133,527 | |
| -1 | 530,133,527 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 2,521 | 2,731 | 17,647 | 19,117 | 27,731 | 30,041 | 194,117 | 210,287 | 6,884,851 | 48,193,957 | 75,733,361 | 530,133,527 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -2,521 | -2,731 | -17,647 | -19,117 | -27,731 | -30,041 | -194,117 | -210,287 | -6,884,851 | -48,193,957 | -75,733,361 | -530,133,527 |
