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 544,117,745, 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 | 544,117,745 | |
| -1 | -544,117,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 544,117,745.
Example:
1 x 544,117,745 = 544,117,745
and
-1 x -544,117,745 = 544,117,745
Notice both answers equal 544,117,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 544,117,745 and divide it by 2:
544,117,745 ÷ 2 = 272,058,872.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 272,058,872.5 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 | 544,117,745 | |
| -1 | -544,117,745 |
Now, we try dividing 544,117,745 by 3:
544,117,745 ÷ 3 = 181,372,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 181,372,581.6667 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 | 544,117,745 | |
| -1 | -544,117,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
544,117,745 ÷ 4 = 136,029,436.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 136,029,436.25 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 | 544,117,745 | |
| -1 | 544,117,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 1,451 | 2,027 | 7,255 | 10,135 | 53,687 | 74,999 | 268,435 | 374,995 | 2,941,177 | 14,705,885 | 108,823,549 | 544,117,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -1,451 | -2,027 | -7,255 | -10,135 | -53,687 | -74,999 | -268,435 | -374,995 | -2,941,177 | -14,705,885 | -108,823,549 | -544,117,745 |
