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 533,322,559, 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 | 533,322,559 | |
| -1 | -533,322,559 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 533,322,559.
Example:
1 x 533,322,559 = 533,322,559
and
-1 x -533,322,559 = 533,322,559
Notice both answers equal 533,322,559
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 533,322,559 and divide it by 2:
533,322,559 ÷ 2 = 266,661,279.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 266,661,279.5 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 | 533,322,559 | |
| -1 | -533,322,559 |
Now, we try dividing 533,322,559 by 3:
533,322,559 ÷ 3 = 177,774,186.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,774,186.3333 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 | 533,322,559 | |
| -1 | -533,322,559 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
533,322,559 ÷ 4 = 133,330,639.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,330,639.75 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 | 533,322,559 | |
| -1 | 533,322,559 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 83 | 581 | 913 | 6,391 | 83,449 | 584,143 | 917,939 | 6,425,573 | 6,926,267 | 48,483,869 | 76,188,937 | 533,322,559 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -83 | -581 | -913 | -6,391 | -83,449 | -584,143 | -917,939 | -6,425,573 | -6,926,267 | -48,483,869 | -76,188,937 | -533,322,559 |
