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 562,433,485, 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 | 562,433,485 | |
| -1 | -562,433,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 562,433,485.
Example:
1 x 562,433,485 = 562,433,485
and
-1 x -562,433,485 = 562,433,485
Notice both answers equal 562,433,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 562,433,485 and divide it by 2:
562,433,485 ÷ 2 = 281,216,742.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,216,742.5 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 | 562,433,485 | |
| -1 | -562,433,485 |
Now, we try dividing 562,433,485 by 3:
562,433,485 ÷ 3 = 187,477,828.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,477,828.3333 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 | 562,433,485 | |
| -1 | -562,433,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
562,433,485 ÷ 4 = 140,608,371.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,608,371.25 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 | 562,433,485 | |
| -1 | 562,433,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 787 | 3,863 | 3,935 | 19,315 | 29,119 | 142,931 | 145,595 | 714,655 | 3,040,181 | 15,200,905 | 112,486,697 | 562,433,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -787 | -3,863 | -3,935 | -19,315 | -29,119 | -142,931 | -145,595 | -714,655 | -3,040,181 | -15,200,905 | -112,486,697 | -562,433,485 |
