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 562,054,363, 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 | 562,054,363 | |
| -1 | -562,054,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 562,054,363.
Example:
1 x 562,054,363 = 562,054,363
and
-1 x -562,054,363 = 562,054,363
Notice both answers equal 562,054,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 562,054,363 and divide it by 2:
562,054,363 ÷ 2 = 281,027,181.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,027,181.5 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 | 562,054,363 | |
| -1 | -562,054,363 |
Now, we try dividing 562,054,363 by 3:
562,054,363 ÷ 3 = 187,351,454.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,351,454.3333 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 | 562,054,363 | |
| -1 | -562,054,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
562,054,363 ÷ 4 = 140,513,590.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,513,590.75 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 | 562,054,363 | |
| -1 | 562,054,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 191 | 533 | 2,483 | 5,521 | 7,831 | 71,773 | 101,803 | 226,361 | 1,054,511 | 2,942,693 | 13,708,643 | 43,234,951 | 562,054,363 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -191 | -533 | -2,483 | -5,521 | -7,831 | -71,773 | -101,803 | -226,361 | -1,054,511 | -2,942,693 | -13,708,643 | -43,234,951 | -562,054,363 |
