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 601,554,767, 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 | 601,554,767 | |
| -1 | -601,554,767 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 601,554,767.
Example:
1 x 601,554,767 = 601,554,767
and
-1 x -601,554,767 = 601,554,767
Notice both answers equal 601,554,767
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 601,554,767 and divide it by 2:
601,554,767 ÷ 2 = 300,777,383.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 300,777,383.5 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 | 601,554,767 | |
| -1 | -601,554,767 |
Now, we try dividing 601,554,767 by 3:
601,554,767 ÷ 3 = 200,518,255.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 200,518,255.6667 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 | 601,554,767 | |
| -1 | -601,554,767 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
601,554,767 ÷ 4 = 150,388,691.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 150,388,691.75 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 | 601,554,767 | |
| -1 | 601,554,767 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 121 | 181 | 227 | 1,331 | 1,991 | 2,497 | 14,641 | 21,901 | 27,467 | 41,087 | 240,911 | 302,137 | 451,957 | 2,650,021 | 3,323,507 | 4,971,527 | 54,686,797 | 601,554,767 |
| -1 | -11 | -121 | -181 | -227 | -1,331 | -1,991 | -2,497 | -14,641 | -21,901 | -27,467 | -41,087 | -240,911 | -302,137 | -451,957 | -2,650,021 | -3,323,507 | -4,971,527 | -54,686,797 | -601,554,767 |
