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 541,226,605, 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 | 541,226,605 | |
| -1 | -541,226,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 541,226,605.
Example:
1 x 541,226,605 = 541,226,605
and
-1 x -541,226,605 = 541,226,605
Notice both answers equal 541,226,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 541,226,605 and divide it by 2:
541,226,605 ÷ 2 = 270,613,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 270,613,302.5 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 | 541,226,605 | |
| -1 | -541,226,605 |
Now, we try dividing 541,226,605 by 3:
541,226,605 ÷ 3 = 180,408,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 180,408,868.3333 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 | 541,226,605 | |
| -1 | -541,226,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
541,226,605 ÷ 4 = 135,306,651.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 135,306,651.25 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 | 541,226,605 | |
| -1 | 541,226,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 211 | 359 | 1,055 | 1,429 | 1,795 | 7,145 | 75,749 | 301,519 | 378,745 | 513,011 | 1,507,595 | 2,565,055 | 108,245,321 | 541,226,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -211 | -359 | -1,055 | -1,429 | -1,795 | -7,145 | -75,749 | -301,519 | -378,745 | -513,011 | -1,507,595 | -2,565,055 | -108,245,321 | -541,226,605 |
