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 585,025,483, 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 | 585,025,483 | |
| -1 | -585,025,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 585,025,483.
Example:
1 x 585,025,483 = 585,025,483
and
-1 x -585,025,483 = 585,025,483
Notice both answers equal 585,025,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 585,025,483 and divide it by 2:
585,025,483 ÷ 2 = 292,512,741.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 292,512,741.5 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 | 585,025,483 | |
| -1 | -585,025,483 |
Now, we try dividing 585,025,483 by 3:
585,025,483 ÷ 3 = 195,008,494.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 195,008,494.3333 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 | 585,025,483 | |
| -1 | -585,025,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
585,025,483 ÷ 4 = 146,256,370.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 146,256,370.75 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 | 585,025,483 | |
| -1 | 585,025,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 137 | 313 | 959 | 1,949 | 2,191 | 13,643 | 42,881 | 267,013 | 300,167 | 610,037 | 1,869,091 | 4,270,259 | 83,575,069 | 585,025,483 |
| -1 | -7 | -137 | -313 | -959 | -1,949 | -2,191 | -13,643 | -42,881 | -267,013 | -300,167 | -610,037 | -1,869,091 | -4,270,259 | -83,575,069 | -585,025,483 |
