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 532,666,715, 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 | 532,666,715 | |
| -1 | -532,666,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 532,666,715.
Example:
1 x 532,666,715 = 532,666,715
and
-1 x -532,666,715 = 532,666,715
Notice both answers equal 532,666,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 532,666,715 and divide it by 2:
532,666,715 ÷ 2 = 266,333,357.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 266,333,357.5 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 | 532,666,715 | |
| -1 | -532,666,715 |
Now, we try dividing 532,666,715 by 3:
532,666,715 ÷ 3 = 177,555,571.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,555,571.6667 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 | 532,666,715 | |
| -1 | -532,666,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
532,666,715 ÷ 4 = 133,166,678.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,166,678.75 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 | 532,666,715 | |
| -1 | 532,666,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 331 | 1,655 | 2,317 | 11,585 | 45,979 | 229,895 | 321,853 | 1,609,265 | 15,219,049 | 76,095,245 | 106,533,343 | 532,666,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -331 | -1,655 | -2,317 | -11,585 | -45,979 | -229,895 | -321,853 | -1,609,265 | -15,219,049 | -76,095,245 | -106,533,343 | -532,666,715 |
