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 535,285,583, 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 | 535,285,583 | |
| -1 | -535,285,583 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 535,285,583.
Example:
1 x 535,285,583 = 535,285,583
and
-1 x -535,285,583 = 535,285,583
Notice both answers equal 535,285,583
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 535,285,583 and divide it by 2:
535,285,583 ÷ 2 = 267,642,791.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,642,791.5 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 | 535,285,583 | |
| -1 | -535,285,583 |
Now, we try dividing 535,285,583 by 3:
535,285,583 ÷ 3 = 178,428,527.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,428,527.6667 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 | 535,285,583 | |
| -1 | -535,285,583 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
535,285,583 ÷ 4 = 133,821,395.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,821,395.75 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 | 535,285,583 | |
| -1 | 535,285,583 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 107 | 413 | 749 | 6,313 | 12,113 | 44,191 | 84,791 | 714,667 | 1,296,091 | 5,002,669 | 9,072,637 | 76,469,369 | 535,285,583 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -107 | -413 | -749 | -6,313 | -12,113 | -44,191 | -84,791 | -714,667 | -1,296,091 | -5,002,669 | -9,072,637 | -76,469,369 | -535,285,583 |
