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 563,535,203, 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 | 563,535,203 | |
| -1 | -563,535,203 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 563,535,203.
Example:
1 x 563,535,203 = 563,535,203
and
-1 x -563,535,203 = 563,535,203
Notice both answers equal 563,535,203
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 563,535,203 and divide it by 2:
563,535,203 ÷ 2 = 281,767,601.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,767,601.5 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 | 563,535,203 | |
| -1 | -563,535,203 |
Now, we try dividing 563,535,203 by 3:
563,535,203 ÷ 3 = 187,845,067.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,845,067.6667 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 | 563,535,203 | |
| -1 | -563,535,203 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
563,535,203 ÷ 4 = 140,883,800.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,883,800.75 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 | 563,535,203 | |
| -1 | 563,535,203 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 79 | 553 | 869 | 6,083 | 92,641 | 648,487 | 1,019,051 | 7,133,357 | 7,318,639 | 51,230,473 | 80,505,029 | 563,535,203 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -79 | -553 | -869 | -6,083 | -92,641 | -648,487 | -1,019,051 | -7,133,357 | -7,318,639 | -51,230,473 | -80,505,029 | -563,535,203 |
