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 530,241,151, 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 | 530,241,151 | |
| -1 | -530,241,151 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 530,241,151.
Example:
1 x 530,241,151 = 530,241,151
and
-1 x -530,241,151 = 530,241,151
Notice both answers equal 530,241,151
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 530,241,151 and divide it by 2:
530,241,151 ÷ 2 = 265,120,575.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 265,120,575.5 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 | 530,241,151 | |
| -1 | -530,241,151 |
Now, we try dividing 530,241,151 by 3:
530,241,151 ÷ 3 = 176,747,050.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 176,747,050.3333 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 | 530,241,151 | |
| -1 | -530,241,151 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
530,241,151 ÷ 4 = 132,560,287.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 132,560,287.75 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 | 530,241,151 | |
| -1 | 530,241,151 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 41 | 209 | 451 | 779 | 8,569 | 61,879 | 680,669 | 1,175,701 | 2,537,039 | 12,932,711 | 27,907,429 | 48,203,741 | 530,241,151 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -41 | -209 | -451 | -779 | -8,569 | -61,879 | -680,669 | -1,175,701 | -2,537,039 | -12,932,711 | -27,907,429 | -48,203,741 | -530,241,151 |
