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 605,501,795, 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 | 605,501,795 | |
| -1 | -605,501,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 605,501,795.
Example:
1 x 605,501,795 = 605,501,795
and
-1 x -605,501,795 = 605,501,795
Notice both answers equal 605,501,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 605,501,795 and divide it by 2:
605,501,795 ÷ 2 = 302,750,897.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,750,897.5 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 | 605,501,795 | |
| -1 | -605,501,795 |
Now, we try dividing 605,501,795 by 3:
605,501,795 ÷ 3 = 201,833,931.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,833,931.6667 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 | 605,501,795 | |
| -1 | -605,501,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
605,501,795 ÷ 4 = 151,375,448.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,375,448.75 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 | 605,501,795 | |
| -1 | 605,501,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 193 | 965 | 4,439 | 22,195 | 27,281 | 136,405 | 627,463 | 3,137,315 | 5,265,233 | 26,326,165 | 121,100,359 | 605,501,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -193 | -965 | -4,439 | -22,195 | -27,281 | -136,405 | -627,463 | -3,137,315 | -5,265,233 | -26,326,165 | -121,100,359 | -605,501,795 |
