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 553,512,625, 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 | 553,512,625 | |
| -1 | -553,512,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 553,512,625.
Example:
1 x 553,512,625 = 553,512,625
and
-1 x -553,512,625 = 553,512,625
Notice both answers equal 553,512,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 553,512,625 and divide it by 2:
553,512,625 ÷ 2 = 276,756,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 276,756,312.5 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 | 553,512,625 | |
| -1 | -553,512,625 |
Now, we try dividing 553,512,625 by 3:
553,512,625 ÷ 3 = 184,504,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 184,504,208.3333 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 | 553,512,625 | |
| -1 | -553,512,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
553,512,625 ÷ 4 = 138,378,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 138,378,156.25 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 | 553,512,625 | |
| -1 | 553,512,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 283 | 1,415 | 7,075 | 15,647 | 35,375 | 78,235 | 391,175 | 1,955,875 | 4,428,101 | 22,140,505 | 110,702,525 | 553,512,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -283 | -1,415 | -7,075 | -15,647 | -35,375 | -78,235 | -391,175 | -1,955,875 | -4,428,101 | -22,140,505 | -110,702,525 | -553,512,625 |
