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 558,036,011, 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 | 558,036,011 | |
| -1 | -558,036,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 558,036,011.
Example:
1 x 558,036,011 = 558,036,011
and
-1 x -558,036,011 = 558,036,011
Notice both answers equal 558,036,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 558,036,011 and divide it by 2:
558,036,011 ÷ 2 = 279,018,005.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 279,018,005.5 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 | 558,036,011 | |
| -1 | -558,036,011 |
Now, we try dividing 558,036,011 by 3:
558,036,011 ÷ 3 = 186,012,003.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 186,012,003.6667 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 | 558,036,011 | |
| -1 | -558,036,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
558,036,011 ÷ 4 = 139,509,002.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 139,509,002.75 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 | 558,036,011 | |
| -1 | 558,036,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 167 | 401 | 641 | 2,171 | 5,213 | 8,333 | 66,967 | 107,047 | 257,041 | 870,571 | 1,391,611 | 3,341,533 | 42,925,847 | 558,036,011 |
| -1 | -13 | -167 | -401 | -641 | -2,171 | -5,213 | -8,333 | -66,967 | -107,047 | -257,041 | -870,571 | -1,391,611 | -3,341,533 | -42,925,847 | -558,036,011 |
