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 577,100,461, 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 | 577,100,461 | |
| -1 | -577,100,461 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 577,100,461.
Example:
1 x 577,100,461 = 577,100,461
and
-1 x -577,100,461 = 577,100,461
Notice both answers equal 577,100,461
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 577,100,461 and divide it by 2:
577,100,461 ÷ 2 = 288,550,230.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 288,550,230.5 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 | 577,100,461 | |
| -1 | -577,100,461 |
Now, we try dividing 577,100,461 by 3:
577,100,461 ÷ 3 = 192,366,820.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 192,366,820.3333 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 | 577,100,461 | |
| -1 | -577,100,461 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
577,100,461 ÷ 4 = 144,275,115.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 144,275,115.25 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 | 577,100,461 | |
| -1 | 577,100,461 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 287 | 617 | 3,259 | 4,319 | 22,813 | 25,297 | 133,619 | 177,079 | 935,333 | 2,010,803 | 14,075,621 | 82,442,923 | 577,100,461 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -287 | -617 | -3,259 | -4,319 | -22,813 | -25,297 | -133,619 | -177,079 | -935,333 | -2,010,803 | -14,075,621 | -82,442,923 | -577,100,461 |
