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 576,565,339, 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 | 576,565,339 | |
| -1 | -576,565,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 576,565,339.
Example:
1 x 576,565,339 = 576,565,339
and
-1 x -576,565,339 = 576,565,339
Notice both answers equal 576,565,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 576,565,339 and divide it by 2:
576,565,339 ÷ 2 = 288,282,669.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 288,282,669.5 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 | 576,565,339 | |
| -1 | -576,565,339 |
Now, we try dividing 576,565,339 by 3:
576,565,339 ÷ 3 = 192,188,446.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 192,188,446.3333 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 | 576,565,339 | |
| -1 | -576,565,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
576,565,339 ÷ 4 = 144,141,334.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 144,141,334.75 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 | 576,565,339 | |
| -1 | 576,565,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 259 | 733 | 3,037 | 5,131 | 21,259 | 27,121 | 112,369 | 189,847 | 786,583 | 2,226,121 | 15,582,847 | 82,366,477 | 576,565,339 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -259 | -733 | -3,037 | -5,131 | -21,259 | -27,121 | -112,369 | -189,847 | -786,583 | -2,226,121 | -15,582,847 | -82,366,477 | -576,565,339 |
