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 531,063,299, 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 | 531,063,299 | |
| -1 | -531,063,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 531,063,299.
Example:
1 x 531,063,299 = 531,063,299
and
-1 x -531,063,299 = 531,063,299
Notice both answers equal 531,063,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 531,063,299 and divide it by 2:
531,063,299 ÷ 2 = 265,531,649.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 265,531,649.5 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 | 531,063,299 | |
| -1 | -531,063,299 |
Now, we try dividing 531,063,299 by 3:
531,063,299 ÷ 3 = 177,021,099.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,021,099.6667 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 | 531,063,299 | |
| -1 | -531,063,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
531,063,299 ÷ 4 = 132,765,824.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 132,765,824.75 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 | 531,063,299 | |
| -1 | 531,063,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 83 | 577 | 853 | 1,079 | 7,501 | 11,089 | 47,891 | 70,799 | 492,181 | 622,583 | 920,387 | 6,398,353 | 40,851,023 | 531,063,299 |
| -1 | -13 | -83 | -577 | -853 | -1,079 | -7,501 | -11,089 | -47,891 | -70,799 | -492,181 | -622,583 | -920,387 | -6,398,353 | -40,851,023 | -531,063,299 |
