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 581,361,355, 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 | 581,361,355 | |
| -1 | -581,361,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 581,361,355.
Example:
1 x 581,361,355 = 581,361,355
and
-1 x -581,361,355 = 581,361,355
Notice both answers equal 581,361,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 581,361,355 and divide it by 2:
581,361,355 ÷ 2 = 290,680,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 290,680,677.5 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 | 581,361,355 | |
| -1 | -581,361,355 |
Now, we try dividing 581,361,355 by 3:
581,361,355 ÷ 3 = 193,787,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 193,787,118.3333 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 | 581,361,355 | |
| -1 | -581,361,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
581,361,355 ÷ 4 = 145,340,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 145,340,338.75 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 | 581,361,355 | |
| -1 | 581,361,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 103 | 193 | 515 | 965 | 5,849 | 19,879 | 29,245 | 99,395 | 602,447 | 1,128,857 | 3,012,235 | 5,644,285 | 116,272,271 | 581,361,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -103 | -193 | -515 | -965 | -5,849 | -19,879 | -29,245 | -99,395 | -602,447 | -1,128,857 | -3,012,235 | -5,644,285 | -116,272,271 | -581,361,355 |
