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 565,526,059, 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 | 565,526,059 | |
| -1 | -565,526,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 565,526,059.
Example:
1 x 565,526,059 = 565,526,059
and
-1 x -565,526,059 = 565,526,059
Notice both answers equal 565,526,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 565,526,059 and divide it by 2:
565,526,059 ÷ 2 = 282,763,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 282,763,029.5 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 | 565,526,059 | |
| -1 | -565,526,059 |
Now, we try dividing 565,526,059 by 3:
565,526,059 ÷ 3 = 188,508,686.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 188,508,686.3333 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 | 565,526,059 | |
| -1 | -565,526,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
565,526,059 ÷ 4 = 141,381,514.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 141,381,514.75 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 | 565,526,059 | |
| -1 | 565,526,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 61 | 371 | 427 | 3,233 | 22,631 | 24,989 | 174,923 | 1,324,417 | 1,524,329 | 9,270,919 | 10,670,303 | 80,789,437 | 565,526,059 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -61 | -371 | -427 | -3,233 | -22,631 | -24,989 | -174,923 | -1,324,417 | -1,524,329 | -9,270,919 | -10,670,303 | -80,789,437 | -565,526,059 |
