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 534,541,319, 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 | 534,541,319 | |
| -1 | -534,541,319 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 534,541,319.
Example:
1 x 534,541,319 = 534,541,319
and
-1 x -534,541,319 = 534,541,319
Notice both answers equal 534,541,319
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 534,541,319 and divide it by 2:
534,541,319 ÷ 2 = 267,270,659.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,270,659.5 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 | 534,541,319 | |
| -1 | -534,541,319 |
Now, we try dividing 534,541,319 by 3:
534,541,319 ÷ 3 = 178,180,439.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,180,439.6667 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 | 534,541,319 | |
| -1 | -534,541,319 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
534,541,319 ÷ 4 = 133,635,329.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,635,329.75 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 | 534,541,319 | |
| -1 | 534,541,319 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 139 | 221 | 1,807 | 2,363 | 17,401 | 30,719 | 226,213 | 295,817 | 2,418,739 | 3,845,621 | 31,443,607 | 41,118,563 | 534,541,319 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -139 | -221 | -1,807 | -2,363 | -17,401 | -30,719 | -226,213 | -295,817 | -2,418,739 | -3,845,621 | -31,443,607 | -41,118,563 | -534,541,319 |
