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 603,327,539, 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 | 603,327,539 | |
| -1 | -603,327,539 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 603,327,539.
Example:
1 x 603,327,539 = 603,327,539
and
-1 x -603,327,539 = 603,327,539
Notice both answers equal 603,327,539
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 603,327,539 and divide it by 2:
603,327,539 ÷ 2 = 301,663,769.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 301,663,769.5 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 | 603,327,539 | |
| -1 | -603,327,539 |
Now, we try dividing 603,327,539 by 3:
603,327,539 ÷ 3 = 201,109,179.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,109,179.6667 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 | 603,327,539 | |
| -1 | -603,327,539 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
603,327,539 ÷ 4 = 150,831,884.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 150,831,884.75 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 | 603,327,539 | |
| -1 | 603,327,539 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 43 | 619 | 817 | 1,193 | 11,761 | 22,667 | 26,617 | 51,299 | 505,723 | 738,467 | 974,681 | 14,030,873 | 31,754,081 | 603,327,539 |
| -1 | -19 | -43 | -619 | -817 | -1,193 | -11,761 | -22,667 | -26,617 | -51,299 | -505,723 | -738,467 | -974,681 | -14,030,873 | -31,754,081 | -603,327,539 |
