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 605,601,403, 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 | 605,601,403 | |
| -1 | -605,601,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 605,601,403.
Example:
1 x 605,601,403 = 605,601,403
and
-1 x -605,601,403 = 605,601,403
Notice both answers equal 605,601,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 605,601,403 and divide it by 2:
605,601,403 ÷ 2 = 302,800,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,800,701.5 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 | 605,601,403 | |
| -1 | -605,601,403 |
Now, we try dividing 605,601,403 by 3:
605,601,403 ÷ 3 = 201,867,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,867,134.3333 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 | 605,601,403 | |
| -1 | -605,601,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
605,601,403 ÷ 4 = 151,400,350.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,400,350.75 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 | 605,601,403 | |
| -1 | 605,601,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 319 | 347 | 3,817 | 5,471 | 10,063 | 60,181 | 110,693 | 158,659 | 1,745,249 | 1,898,437 | 20,882,807 | 55,054,673 | 605,601,403 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -319 | -347 | -3,817 | -5,471 | -10,063 | -60,181 | -110,693 | -158,659 | -1,745,249 | -1,898,437 | -20,882,807 | -55,054,673 | -605,601,403 |
