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 576,331,637, 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 | 576,331,637 | |
| -1 | -576,331,637 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 576,331,637.
Example:
1 x 576,331,637 = 576,331,637
and
-1 x -576,331,637 = 576,331,637
Notice both answers equal 576,331,637
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 576,331,637 and divide it by 2:
576,331,637 ÷ 2 = 288,165,818.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 288,165,818.5 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 | 576,331,637 | |
| -1 | -576,331,637 |
Now, we try dividing 576,331,637 by 3:
576,331,637 ÷ 3 = 192,110,545.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 192,110,545.6667 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 | 576,331,637 | |
| -1 | -576,331,637 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
576,331,637 ÷ 4 = 144,082,909.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 144,082,909.25 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 | 576,331,637 | |
| -1 | 576,331,637 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 71 | 119 | 497 | 1,207 | 8,449 | 68,213 | 477,491 | 1,159,621 | 4,843,123 | 8,117,347 | 33,901,861 | 82,333,091 | 576,331,637 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -71 | -119 | -497 | -1,207 | -8,449 | -68,213 | -477,491 | -1,159,621 | -4,843,123 | -8,117,347 | -33,901,861 | -82,333,091 | -576,331,637 |
