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 560,663,315, 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 | 560,663,315 | |
| -1 | -560,663,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 560,663,315.
Example:
1 x 560,663,315 = 560,663,315
and
-1 x -560,663,315 = 560,663,315
Notice both answers equal 560,663,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 560,663,315 and divide it by 2:
560,663,315 ÷ 2 = 280,331,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 280,331,657.5 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 | 560,663,315 | |
| -1 | -560,663,315 |
Now, we try dividing 560,663,315 by 3:
560,663,315 ÷ 3 = 186,887,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 186,887,771.6667 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 | 560,663,315 | |
| -1 | -560,663,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
560,663,315 ÷ 4 = 140,165,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,165,828.75 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 | 560,663,315 | |
| -1 | 560,663,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 41 | 85 | 205 | 697 | 3,485 | 160,879 | 804,395 | 2,734,943 | 6,596,039 | 13,674,715 | 32,980,195 | 112,132,663 | 560,663,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -41 | -85 | -205 | -697 | -3,485 | -160,879 | -804,395 | -2,734,943 | -6,596,039 | -13,674,715 | -32,980,195 | -112,132,663 | -560,663,315 |
