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 605,533,145, 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 | 605,533,145 | |
| -1 | -605,533,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 605,533,145.
Example:
1 x 605,533,145 = 605,533,145
and
-1 x -605,533,145 = 605,533,145
Notice both answers equal 605,533,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 605,533,145 and divide it by 2:
605,533,145 ÷ 2 = 302,766,572.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,766,572.5 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 | 605,533,145 | |
| -1 | -605,533,145 |
Now, we try dividing 605,533,145 by 3:
605,533,145 ÷ 3 = 201,844,381.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,844,381.6667 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 | 605,533,145 | |
| -1 | -605,533,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
605,533,145 ÷ 4 = 151,383,286.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,383,286.25 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 | 605,533,145 | |
| -1 | 605,533,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 3,067 | 5,641 | 15,335 | 21,469 | 28,205 | 39,487 | 107,345 | 197,435 | 17,300,947 | 86,504,735 | 121,106,629 | 605,533,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -3,067 | -5,641 | -15,335 | -21,469 | -28,205 | -39,487 | -107,345 | -197,435 | -17,300,947 | -86,504,735 | -121,106,629 | -605,533,145 |
