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 535,522,441, 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 | 535,522,441 | |
| -1 | -535,522,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 535,522,441.
Example:
1 x 535,522,441 = 535,522,441
and
-1 x -535,522,441 = 535,522,441
Notice both answers equal 535,522,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 535,522,441 and divide it by 2:
535,522,441 ÷ 2 = 267,761,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 267,761,220.5 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 | 535,522,441 | |
| -1 | -535,522,441 |
Now, we try dividing 535,522,441 by 3:
535,522,441 ÷ 3 = 178,507,480.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,507,480.3333 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 | 535,522,441 | |
| -1 | -535,522,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
535,522,441 ÷ 4 = 133,880,610.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 133,880,610.25 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 | 535,522,441 | |
| -1 | 535,522,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 53 | 103 | 263 | 373 | 5,459 | 13,939 | 19,769 | 27,089 | 38,419 | 98,099 | 1,435,717 | 2,036,207 | 5,199,247 | 10,104,197 | 535,522,441 |
| -1 | -53 | -103 | -263 | -373 | -5,459 | -13,939 | -19,769 | -27,089 | -38,419 | -98,099 | -1,435,717 | -2,036,207 | -5,199,247 | -10,104,197 | -535,522,441 |
