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 534,687,055, 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 | 534,687,055 | |
| -1 | -534,687,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 534,687,055.
Example:
1 x 534,687,055 = 534,687,055
and
-1 x -534,687,055 = 534,687,055
Notice both answers equal 534,687,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 534,687,055 and divide it by 2:
534,687,055 ÷ 2 = 267,343,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,343,527.5 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 | 534,687,055 | |
| -1 | -534,687,055 |
Now, we try dividing 534,687,055 by 3:
534,687,055 ÷ 3 = 178,229,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,229,018.3333 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 | 534,687,055 | |
| -1 | -534,687,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
534,687,055 ÷ 4 = 133,671,763.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,671,763.75 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 | 534,687,055 | |
| -1 | 534,687,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 53 | 265 | 371 | 1,855 | 288,241 | 1,441,205 | 2,017,687 | 10,088,435 | 15,276,773 | 76,383,865 | 106,937,411 | 534,687,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -53 | -265 | -371 | -1,855 | -288,241 | -1,441,205 | -2,017,687 | -10,088,435 | -15,276,773 | -76,383,865 | -106,937,411 | -534,687,055 |
