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 603,460,115, 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 | 603,460,115 | |
| -1 | -603,460,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 603,460,115.
Example:
1 x 603,460,115 = 603,460,115
and
-1 x -603,460,115 = 603,460,115
Notice both answers equal 603,460,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 603,460,115 and divide it by 2:
603,460,115 ÷ 2 = 301,730,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 301,730,057.5 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 | 603,460,115 | |
| -1 | -603,460,115 |
Now, we try dividing 603,460,115 by 3:
603,460,115 ÷ 3 = 201,153,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,153,371.6667 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 | 603,460,115 | |
| -1 | -603,460,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
603,460,115 ÷ 4 = 150,865,028.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 150,865,028.75 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 | 603,460,115 | |
| -1 | 603,460,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 113 | 157 | 565 | 785 | 6,803 | 17,741 | 34,015 | 88,705 | 768,739 | 1,068,071 | 3,843,695 | 5,340,355 | 120,692,023 | 603,460,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -113 | -157 | -565 | -785 | -6,803 | -17,741 | -34,015 | -88,705 | -768,739 | -1,068,071 | -3,843,695 | -5,340,355 | -120,692,023 | -603,460,115 |
