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 544,028,435, 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 | 544,028,435 | |
| -1 | -544,028,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 544,028,435.
Example:
1 x 544,028,435 = 544,028,435
and
-1 x -544,028,435 = 544,028,435
Notice both answers equal 544,028,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 544,028,435 and divide it by 2:
544,028,435 ÷ 2 = 272,014,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 272,014,217.5 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 | 544,028,435 | |
| -1 | -544,028,435 |
Now, we try dividing 544,028,435 by 3:
544,028,435 ÷ 3 = 181,342,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 181,342,811.6667 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 | 544,028,435 | |
| -1 | -544,028,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
544,028,435 ÷ 4 = 136,007,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 136,007,108.75 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 | 544,028,435 | |
| -1 | 544,028,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 179 | 271 | 895 | 1,355 | 2,243 | 11,215 | 48,509 | 242,545 | 401,497 | 607,853 | 2,007,485 | 3,039,265 | 108,805,687 | 544,028,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -179 | -271 | -895 | -1,355 | -2,243 | -11,215 | -48,509 | -242,545 | -401,497 | -607,853 | -2,007,485 | -3,039,265 | -108,805,687 | -544,028,435 |
