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 562,436,641, 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 | 562,436,641 | |
| -1 | -562,436,641 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 562,436,641.
Example:
1 x 562,436,641 = 562,436,641
and
-1 x -562,436,641 = 562,436,641
Notice both answers equal 562,436,641
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 562,436,641 and divide it by 2:
562,436,641 ÷ 2 = 281,218,320.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,218,320.5 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 | 562,436,641 | |
| -1 | -562,436,641 |
Now, we try dividing 562,436,641 by 3:
562,436,641 ÷ 3 = 187,478,880.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,478,880.3333 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 | 562,436,641 | |
| -1 | -562,436,641 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
562,436,641 ÷ 4 = 140,609,160.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,609,160.25 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 | 562,436,641 | |
| -1 | 562,436,641 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 299 | 941 | 1,999 | 12,233 | 21,643 | 25,987 | 45,977 | 281,359 | 597,701 | 1,881,059 | 24,453,767 | 43,264,357 | 562,436,641 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -299 | -941 | -1,999 | -12,233 | -21,643 | -25,987 | -45,977 | -281,359 | -597,701 | -1,881,059 | -24,453,767 | -43,264,357 | -562,436,641 |
