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 533,672,155, 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 | 533,672,155 | |
| -1 | -533,672,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 533,672,155.
Example:
1 x 533,672,155 = 533,672,155
and
-1 x -533,672,155 = 533,672,155
Notice both answers equal 533,672,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 533,672,155 and divide it by 2:
533,672,155 ÷ 2 = 266,836,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 266,836,077.5 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 | 533,672,155 | |
| -1 | -533,672,155 |
Now, we try dividing 533,672,155 by 3:
533,672,155 ÷ 3 = 177,890,718.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 177,890,718.3333 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 | 533,672,155 | |
| -1 | -533,672,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
533,672,155 ÷ 4 = 133,418,038.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,418,038.75 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 | 533,672,155 | |
| -1 | 533,672,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 83 | 415 | 541 | 2,377 | 2,705 | 11,885 | 44,903 | 197,291 | 224,515 | 986,455 | 1,285,957 | 6,429,785 | 106,734,431 | 533,672,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -83 | -415 | -541 | -2,377 | -2,705 | -11,885 | -44,903 | -197,291 | -224,515 | -986,455 | -1,285,957 | -6,429,785 | -106,734,431 | -533,672,155 |
