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 573,400,165, 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 | 573,400,165 | |
| -1 | -573,400,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 573,400,165.
Example:
1 x 573,400,165 = 573,400,165
and
-1 x -573,400,165 = 573,400,165
Notice both answers equal 573,400,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 573,400,165 and divide it by 2:
573,400,165 ÷ 2 = 286,700,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 286,700,082.5 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 | 573,400,165 | |
| -1 | -573,400,165 |
Now, we try dividing 573,400,165 by 3:
573,400,165 ÷ 3 = 191,133,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 191,133,388.3333 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 | 573,400,165 | |
| -1 | -573,400,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
573,400,165 ÷ 4 = 143,350,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 143,350,041.25 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 | 573,400,165 | |
| -1 | 573,400,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 2,749 | 3,209 | 13,745 | 16,045 | 35,737 | 41,717 | 178,685 | 208,585 | 8,821,541 | 44,107,705 | 114,680,033 | 573,400,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -2,749 | -3,209 | -13,745 | -16,045 | -35,737 | -41,717 | -178,685 | -208,585 | -8,821,541 | -44,107,705 | -114,680,033 | -573,400,165 |
