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 534,130,265, 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 | 534,130,265 | |
| -1 | -534,130,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 534,130,265.
Example:
1 x 534,130,265 = 534,130,265
and
-1 x -534,130,265 = 534,130,265
Notice both answers equal 534,130,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 534,130,265 and divide it by 2:
534,130,265 ÷ 2 = 267,065,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,065,132.5 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 | 534,130,265 | |
| -1 | -534,130,265 |
Now, we try dividing 534,130,265 by 3:
534,130,265 ÷ 3 = 178,043,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,043,421.6667 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 | 534,130,265 | |
| -1 | -534,130,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
534,130,265 ÷ 4 = 133,532,566.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,532,566.25 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 | 534,130,265 | |
| -1 | 534,130,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 29 | 115 | 145 | 667 | 3,335 | 160,159 | 800,795 | 3,683,657 | 4,644,611 | 18,418,285 | 23,223,055 | 106,826,053 | 534,130,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -29 | -115 | -145 | -667 | -3,335 | -160,159 | -800,795 | -3,683,657 | -4,644,611 | -18,418,285 | -23,223,055 | -106,826,053 | -534,130,265 |
