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 604,002,113, 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 | 604,002,113 | |
| -1 | -604,002,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 604,002,113.
Example:
1 x 604,002,113 = 604,002,113
and
-1 x -604,002,113 = 604,002,113
Notice both answers equal 604,002,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 604,002,113 and divide it by 2:
604,002,113 ÷ 2 = 302,001,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,001,056.5 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 | 604,002,113 | |
| -1 | -604,002,113 |
Now, we try dividing 604,002,113 by 3:
604,002,113 ÷ 3 = 201,334,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,334,037.6667 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 | 604,002,113 | |
| -1 | -604,002,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
604,002,113 ÷ 4 = 151,000,528.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,000,528.25 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 | 604,002,113 | |
| -1 | 604,002,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 121 | 143 | 169 | 1,573 | 1,859 | 20,449 | 29,537 | 324,907 | 383,981 | 3,573,977 | 4,223,791 | 4,991,753 | 46,461,701 | 54,909,283 | 604,002,113 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -121 | -143 | -169 | -1,573 | -1,859 | -20,449 | -29,537 | -324,907 | -383,981 | -3,573,977 | -4,223,791 | -4,991,753 | -46,461,701 | -54,909,283 | -604,002,113 |
