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 554,434,133, 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 | 554,434,133 | |
| -1 | -554,434,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 554,434,133.
Example:
1 x 554,434,133 = 554,434,133
and
-1 x -554,434,133 = 554,434,133
Notice both answers equal 554,434,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 554,434,133 and divide it by 2:
554,434,133 ÷ 2 = 277,217,066.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 277,217,066.5 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 | 554,434,133 | |
| -1 | -554,434,133 |
Now, we try dividing 554,434,133 by 3:
554,434,133 ÷ 3 = 184,811,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 184,811,377.6667 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 | 554,434,133 | |
| -1 | -554,434,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
554,434,133 ÷ 4 = 138,608,533.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 138,608,533.25 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 | 554,434,133 | |
| -1 | 554,434,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 89 | 521 | 979 | 1,087 | 5,731 | 11,957 | 46,369 | 96,743 | 510,059 | 566,327 | 1,064,173 | 6,229,597 | 50,403,103 | 554,434,133 |
| -1 | -11 | -89 | -521 | -979 | -1,087 | -5,731 | -11,957 | -46,369 | -96,743 | -510,059 | -566,327 | -1,064,173 | -6,229,597 | -50,403,103 | -554,434,133 |
