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 534,144,545, 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 | 534,144,545 | |
| -1 | -534,144,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 534,144,545.
Example:
1 x 534,144,545 = 534,144,545
and
-1 x -534,144,545 = 534,144,545
Notice both answers equal 534,144,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 534,144,545 and divide it by 2:
534,144,545 ÷ 2 = 267,072,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,072,272.5 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 | 534,144,545 | |
| -1 | -534,144,545 |
Now, we try dividing 534,144,545 by 3:
534,144,545 ÷ 3 = 178,048,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,048,181.6667 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 | 534,144,545 | |
| -1 | -534,144,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
534,144,545 ÷ 4 = 133,536,136.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,536,136.25 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 | 534,144,545 | |
| -1 | 534,144,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 1,153 | 5,765 | 8,423 | 12,683 | 42,115 | 63,415 | 92,653 | 463,265 | 9,711,719 | 48,558,595 | 106,828,909 | 534,144,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -1,153 | -5,765 | -8,423 | -12,683 | -42,115 | -63,415 | -92,653 | -463,265 | -9,711,719 | -48,558,595 | -106,828,909 | -534,144,545 |
