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 564,462,101, 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 | 564,462,101 | |
| -1 | -564,462,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 564,462,101.
Example:
1 x 564,462,101 = 564,462,101
and
-1 x -564,462,101 = 564,462,101
Notice both answers equal 564,462,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 564,462,101 and divide it by 2:
564,462,101 ÷ 2 = 282,231,050.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 282,231,050.5 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 | 564,462,101 | |
| -1 | -564,462,101 |
Now, we try dividing 564,462,101 by 3:
564,462,101 ÷ 3 = 188,154,033.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 188,154,033.6667 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 | 564,462,101 | |
| -1 | -564,462,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
564,462,101 ÷ 4 = 141,115,525.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 141,115,525.25 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 | 564,462,101 | |
| -1 | 564,462,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 131 | 917 | 2,227 | 15,589 | 36,209 | 253,463 | 615,553 | 4,308,871 | 4,743,379 | 33,203,653 | 80,637,443 | 564,462,101 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -131 | -917 | -2,227 | -15,589 | -36,209 | -253,463 | -615,553 | -4,308,871 | -4,743,379 | -33,203,653 | -80,637,443 | -564,462,101 |
