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 564,664,543, 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 | 564,664,543 | |
| -1 | -564,664,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 564,664,543.
Example:
1 x 564,664,543 = 564,664,543
and
-1 x -564,664,543 = 564,664,543
Notice both answers equal 564,664,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 564,664,543 and divide it by 2:
564,664,543 ÷ 2 = 282,332,271.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 282,332,271.5 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 | 564,664,543 | |
| -1 | -564,664,543 |
Now, we try dividing 564,664,543 by 3:
564,664,543 ÷ 3 = 188,221,514.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 188,221,514.3333 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 | 564,664,543 | |
| -1 | -564,664,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
564,664,543 ÷ 4 = 141,166,135.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 141,166,135.75 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 | 564,664,543 | |
| -1 | 564,664,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 67 | 137 | 227 | 271 | 9,179 | 15,209 | 18,157 | 31,099 | 37,127 | 61,517 | 2,083,633 | 2,487,509 | 4,121,639 | 8,427,829 | 564,664,543 |
| -1 | -67 | -137 | -227 | -271 | -9,179 | -15,209 | -18,157 | -31,099 | -37,127 | -61,517 | -2,083,633 | -2,487,509 | -4,121,639 | -8,427,829 | -564,664,543 |
