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 564,503,563, 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 | 564,503,563 | |
| -1 | -564,503,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 564,503,563.
Example:
1 x 564,503,563 = 564,503,563
and
-1 x -564,503,563 = 564,503,563
Notice both answers equal 564,503,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 564,503,563 and divide it by 2:
564,503,563 ÷ 2 = 282,251,781.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 282,251,781.5 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 | 564,503,563 | |
| -1 | -564,503,563 |
Now, we try dividing 564,503,563 by 3:
564,503,563 ÷ 3 = 188,167,854.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 188,167,854.3333 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 | 564,503,563 | |
| -1 | -564,503,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
564,503,563 ÷ 4 = 141,125,890.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 141,125,890.75 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 | 564,503,563 | |
| -1 | 564,503,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 277 | 767 | 2,657 | 3,601 | 16,343 | 34,541 | 156,763 | 212,459 | 735,989 | 2,037,919 | 9,567,857 | 43,423,351 | 564,503,563 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -277 | -767 | -2,657 | -3,601 | -16,343 | -34,541 | -156,763 | -212,459 | -735,989 | -2,037,919 | -9,567,857 | -43,423,351 | -564,503,563 |
