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 576,053,993, 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 | 576,053,993 | |
| -1 | -576,053,993 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 576,053,993.
Example:
1 x 576,053,993 = 576,053,993
and
-1 x -576,053,993 = 576,053,993
Notice both answers equal 576,053,993
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 576,053,993 and divide it by 2:
576,053,993 ÷ 2 = 288,026,996.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 288,026,996.5 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 | 576,053,993 | |
| -1 | -576,053,993 |
Now, we try dividing 576,053,993 by 3:
576,053,993 ÷ 3 = 192,017,997.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 192,017,997.6667 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 | 576,053,993 | |
| -1 | -576,053,993 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
576,053,993 ÷ 4 = 144,013,498.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 144,013,498.25 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 | 576,053,993 | |
| -1 | 576,053,993 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 59 | 353 | 1,003 | 1,627 | 6,001 | 20,827 | 27,659 | 95,993 | 354,059 | 574,331 | 1,631,881 | 9,763,627 | 33,885,529 | 576,053,993 |
| -1 | -17 | -59 | -353 | -1,003 | -1,627 | -6,001 | -20,827 | -27,659 | -95,993 | -354,059 | -574,331 | -1,631,881 | -9,763,627 | -33,885,529 | -576,053,993 |
