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 534,874,865, 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 | 534,874,865 | |
| -1 | -534,874,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 534,874,865.
Example:
1 x 534,874,865 = 534,874,865
and
-1 x -534,874,865 = 534,874,865
Notice both answers equal 534,874,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 534,874,865 and divide it by 2:
534,874,865 ÷ 2 = 267,437,432.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,437,432.5 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 | 534,874,865 | |
| -1 | -534,874,865 |
Now, we try dividing 534,874,865 by 3:
534,874,865 ÷ 3 = 178,291,621.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,291,621.6667 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 | 534,874,865 | |
| -1 | -534,874,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
534,874,865 ÷ 4 = 133,718,716.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,718,716.25 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 | 534,874,865 | |
| -1 | 534,874,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,901 | 8,039 | 9,505 | 13,307 | 40,195 | 56,273 | 66,535 | 281,365 | 15,282,139 | 76,410,695 | 106,974,973 | 534,874,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,901 | -8,039 | -9,505 | -13,307 | -40,195 | -56,273 | -66,535 | -281,365 | -15,282,139 | -76,410,695 | -106,974,973 | -534,874,865 |
