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 531,773,375, 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 | 531,773,375 | |
| -1 | -531,773,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 531,773,375.
Example:
1 x 531,773,375 = 531,773,375
and
-1 x -531,773,375 = 531,773,375
Notice both answers equal 531,773,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 531,773,375 and divide it by 2:
531,773,375 ÷ 2 = 265,886,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 265,886,687.5 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 | 531,773,375 | |
| -1 | -531,773,375 |
Now, we try dividing 531,773,375 by 3:
531,773,375 ÷ 3 = 177,257,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,257,791.6667 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 | 531,773,375 | |
| -1 | -531,773,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
531,773,375 ÷ 4 = 132,943,343.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 132,943,343.75 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 | 531,773,375 | |
| -1 | 531,773,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 125 | 175 | 875 | 607,741 | 3,038,705 | 4,254,187 | 15,193,525 | 21,270,935 | 75,967,625 | 106,354,675 | 531,773,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -125 | -175 | -875 | -607,741 | -3,038,705 | -4,254,187 | -15,193,525 | -21,270,935 | -75,967,625 | -106,354,675 | -531,773,375 |
