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 564,324,415, 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 | 564,324,415 | |
| -1 | -564,324,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 564,324,415.
Example:
1 x 564,324,415 = 564,324,415
and
-1 x -564,324,415 = 564,324,415
Notice both answers equal 564,324,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 564,324,415 and divide it by 2:
564,324,415 ÷ 2 = 282,162,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 282,162,207.5 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 | 564,324,415 | |
| -1 | -564,324,415 |
Now, we try dividing 564,324,415 by 3:
564,324,415 ÷ 3 = 188,108,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 188,108,138.3333 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 | 564,324,415 | |
| -1 | -564,324,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
564,324,415 ÷ 4 = 141,081,103.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 141,081,103.75 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 | 564,324,415 | |
| -1 | 564,324,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 2,347 | 2,531 | 11,735 | 12,655 | 44,593 | 48,089 | 222,965 | 240,445 | 5,940,257 | 29,701,285 | 112,864,883 | 564,324,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -2,347 | -2,531 | -11,735 | -12,655 | -44,593 | -48,089 | -222,965 | -240,445 | -5,940,257 | -29,701,285 | -112,864,883 | -564,324,415 |
