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 577,400,369, 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 | 577,400,369 | |
| -1 | -577,400,369 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 577,400,369.
Example:
1 x 577,400,369 = 577,400,369
and
-1 x -577,400,369 = 577,400,369
Notice both answers equal 577,400,369
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 577,400,369 and divide it by 2:
577,400,369 ÷ 2 = 288,700,184.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 288,700,184.5 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 | 577,400,369 | |
| -1 | -577,400,369 |
Now, we try dividing 577,400,369 by 3:
577,400,369 ÷ 3 = 192,466,789.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 192,466,789.6667 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 | 577,400,369 | |
| -1 | -577,400,369 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
577,400,369 ÷ 4 = 144,350,092.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 144,350,092.25 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 | 577,400,369 | |
| -1 | 577,400,369 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 91 | 343 | 637 | 4,459 | 129,491 | 906,437 | 1,683,383 | 6,345,059 | 11,783,681 | 44,415,413 | 82,485,767 | 577,400,369 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -91 | -343 | -637 | -4,459 | -129,491 | -906,437 | -1,683,383 | -6,345,059 | -11,783,681 | -44,415,413 | -82,485,767 | -577,400,369 |
