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 532,004,305, 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 | 532,004,305 | |
| -1 | -532,004,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 532,004,305.
Example:
1 x 532,004,305 = 532,004,305
and
-1 x -532,004,305 = 532,004,305
Notice both answers equal 532,004,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 532,004,305 and divide it by 2:
532,004,305 ÷ 2 = 266,002,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 266,002,152.5 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 | 532,004,305 | |
| -1 | -532,004,305 |
Now, we try dividing 532,004,305 by 3:
532,004,305 ÷ 3 = 177,334,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,334,768.3333 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 | 532,004,305 | |
| -1 | -532,004,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
532,004,305 ÷ 4 = 133,001,076.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,001,076.25 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 | 532,004,305 | |
| -1 | 532,004,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 373 | 1,865 | 2,611 | 13,055 | 40,751 | 203,755 | 285,257 | 1,426,285 | 15,200,123 | 76,000,615 | 106,400,861 | 532,004,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -373 | -1,865 | -2,611 | -13,055 | -40,751 | -203,755 | -285,257 | -1,426,285 | -15,200,123 | -76,000,615 | -106,400,861 | -532,004,305 |
