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 536,355,025, 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 | 536,355,025 | |
| -1 | -536,355,025 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 536,355,025.
Example:
1 x 536,355,025 = 536,355,025
and
-1 x -536,355,025 = 536,355,025
Notice both answers equal 536,355,025
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 536,355,025 and divide it by 2:
536,355,025 ÷ 2 = 268,177,512.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 268,177,512.5 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 | 536,355,025 | |
| -1 | -536,355,025 |
Now, we try dividing 536,355,025 by 3:
536,355,025 ÷ 3 = 178,785,008.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 178,785,008.3333 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 | 536,355,025 | |
| -1 | -536,355,025 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
536,355,025 ÷ 4 = 134,088,756.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 134,088,756.25 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 | 536,355,025 | |
| -1 | 536,355,025 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 155 | 775 | 692,071 | 3,460,355 | 17,301,775 | 21,454,201 | 107,271,005 | 536,355,025 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -155 | -775 | -692,071 | -3,460,355 | -17,301,775 | -21,454,201 | -107,271,005 | -536,355,025 |
