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 532,532,605, 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 | 532,532,605 | |
| -1 | -532,532,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 532,532,605.
Example:
1 x 532,532,605 = 532,532,605
and
-1 x -532,532,605 = 532,532,605
Notice both answers equal 532,532,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 532,532,605 and divide it by 2:
532,532,605 ÷ 2 = 266,266,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 266,266,302.5 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 | 532,532,605 | |
| -1 | -532,532,605 |
Now, we try dividing 532,532,605 by 3:
532,532,605 ÷ 3 = 177,510,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,510,868.3333 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 | 532,532,605 | |
| -1 | -532,532,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
532,532,605 ÷ 4 = 133,133,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,133,151.25 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 | 532,532,605 | |
| -1 | 532,532,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 2,915 | 182,687 | 913,435 | 2,009,557 | 9,682,411 | 10,047,785 | 48,412,055 | 106,506,521 | 532,532,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -2,915 | -182,687 | -913,435 | -2,009,557 | -9,682,411 | -10,047,785 | -48,412,055 | -106,506,521 | -532,532,605 |
