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 563,624,635, 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 | 563,624,635 | |
| -1 | -563,624,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 563,624,635.
Example:
1 x 563,624,635 = 563,624,635
and
-1 x -563,624,635 = 563,624,635
Notice both answers equal 563,624,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 563,624,635 and divide it by 2:
563,624,635 ÷ 2 = 281,812,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,812,317.5 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 | 563,624,635 | |
| -1 | -563,624,635 |
Now, we try dividing 563,624,635 by 3:
563,624,635 ÷ 3 = 187,874,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,874,878.3333 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 | 563,624,635 | |
| -1 | -563,624,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
563,624,635 ÷ 4 = 140,906,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,906,158.75 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 | 563,624,635 | |
| -1 | 563,624,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 467 | 2,335 | 3,269 | 16,345 | 34,483 | 172,415 | 241,381 | 1,206,905 | 16,103,561 | 80,517,805 | 112,724,927 | 563,624,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -467 | -2,335 | -3,269 | -16,345 | -34,483 | -172,415 | -241,381 | -1,206,905 | -16,103,561 | -80,517,805 | -112,724,927 | -563,624,635 |
