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 536,152,165, 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 | 536,152,165 | |
| -1 | -536,152,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 536,152,165.
Example:
1 x 536,152,165 = 536,152,165
and
-1 x -536,152,165 = 536,152,165
Notice both answers equal 536,152,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 536,152,165 and divide it by 2:
536,152,165 ÷ 2 = 268,076,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 268,076,082.5 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 | 536,152,165 | |
| -1 | -536,152,165 |
Now, we try dividing 536,152,165 by 3:
536,152,165 ÷ 3 = 178,717,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,717,388.3333 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 | 536,152,165 | |
| -1 | -536,152,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
536,152,165 ÷ 4 = 134,038,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 134,038,041.25 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 | 536,152,165 | |
| -1 | 536,152,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 43 | 95 | 215 | 817 | 4,085 | 131,249 | 656,245 | 2,493,731 | 5,643,707 | 12,468,655 | 28,218,535 | 107,230,433 | 536,152,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -43 | -95 | -215 | -817 | -4,085 | -131,249 | -656,245 | -2,493,731 | -5,643,707 | -12,468,655 | -28,218,535 | -107,230,433 | -536,152,165 |
