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 605,414,635, 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 | 605,414,635 | |
| -1 | -605,414,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 605,414,635.
Example:
1 x 605,414,635 = 605,414,635
and
-1 x -605,414,635 = 605,414,635
Notice both answers equal 605,414,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 605,414,635 and divide it by 2:
605,414,635 ÷ 2 = 302,707,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,707,317.5 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 | 605,414,635 | |
| -1 | -605,414,635 |
Now, we try dividing 605,414,635 by 3:
605,414,635 ÷ 3 = 201,804,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,804,878.3333 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 | 605,414,635 | |
| -1 | -605,414,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
605,414,635 ÷ 4 = 151,353,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,353,658.75 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 | 605,414,635 | |
| -1 | 605,414,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 59 | 295 | 413 | 2,065 | 293,179 | 1,465,895 | 2,052,253 | 10,261,265 | 17,297,561 | 86,487,805 | 121,082,927 | 605,414,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -59 | -295 | -413 | -2,065 | -293,179 | -1,465,895 | -2,052,253 | -10,261,265 | -17,297,561 | -86,487,805 | -121,082,927 | -605,414,635 |
