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 600,244,007, 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 | 600,244,007 | |
| -1 | -600,244,007 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 600,244,007.
Example:
1 x 600,244,007 = 600,244,007
and
-1 x -600,244,007 = 600,244,007
Notice both answers equal 600,244,007
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 600,244,007 and divide it by 2:
600,244,007 ÷ 2 = 300,122,003.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 300,122,003.5 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 | 600,244,007 | |
| -1 | -600,244,007 |
Now, we try dividing 600,244,007 by 3:
600,244,007 ÷ 3 = 200,081,335.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 200,081,335.6667 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 | 600,244,007 | |
| -1 | -600,244,007 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
600,244,007 ÷ 4 = 150,061,001.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 150,061,001.75 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 | 600,244,007 | |
| -1 | 600,244,007 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 37 | 187 | 407 | 629 | 6,919 | 86,753 | 954,283 | 1,474,801 | 3,209,861 | 16,222,811 | 35,308,471 | 54,567,637 | 600,244,007 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -37 | -187 | -407 | -629 | -6,919 | -86,753 | -954,283 | -1,474,801 | -3,209,861 | -16,222,811 | -35,308,471 | -54,567,637 | -600,244,007 |
