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 560,526,049, 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 | 560,526,049 | |
| -1 | -560,526,049 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 560,526,049.
Example:
1 x 560,526,049 = 560,526,049
and
-1 x -560,526,049 = 560,526,049
Notice both answers equal 560,526,049
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 560,526,049 and divide it by 2:
560,526,049 ÷ 2 = 280,263,024.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 280,263,024.5 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 | 560,526,049 | |
| -1 | -560,526,049 |
Now, we try dividing 560,526,049 by 3:
560,526,049 ÷ 3 = 186,842,016.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 186,842,016.3333 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 | 560,526,049 | |
| -1 | -560,526,049 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
560,526,049 ÷ 4 = 140,131,512.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,131,512.25 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 | 560,526,049 | |
| -1 | 560,526,049 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 181 | 389 | 419 | 3,439 | 7,391 | 7,961 | 70,409 | 75,839 | 162,991 | 1,337,771 | 1,440,941 | 3,096,829 | 29,501,371 | 560,526,049 |
| -1 | -19 | -181 | -389 | -419 | -3,439 | -7,391 | -7,961 | -70,409 | -75,839 | -162,991 | -1,337,771 | -1,440,941 | -3,096,829 | -29,501,371 | -560,526,049 |
