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 575,732,701, 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 | 575,732,701 | |
| -1 | -575,732,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 575,732,701.
Example:
1 x 575,732,701 = 575,732,701
and
-1 x -575,732,701 = 575,732,701
Notice both answers equal 575,732,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 575,732,701 and divide it by 2:
575,732,701 ÷ 2 = 287,866,350.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 287,866,350.5 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 | 575,732,701 | |
| -1 | -575,732,701 |
Now, we try dividing 575,732,701 by 3:
575,732,701 ÷ 3 = 191,910,900.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 191,910,900.3333 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 | 575,732,701 | |
| -1 | -575,732,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
575,732,701 ÷ 4 = 143,933,175.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 143,933,175.25 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 | 575,732,701 | |
| -1 | 575,732,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 61 | 211 | 1,091 | 2,501 | 8,651 | 12,871 | 44,731 | 66,551 | 230,201 | 527,711 | 2,728,591 | 9,438,241 | 14,042,261 | 575,732,701 |
| -1 | -41 | -61 | -211 | -1,091 | -2,501 | -8,651 | -12,871 | -44,731 | -66,551 | -230,201 | -527,711 | -2,728,591 | -9,438,241 | -14,042,261 | -575,732,701 |
