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 606,212,027, 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 | 606,212,027 | |
| -1 | -606,212,027 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 606,212,027.
Example:
1 x 606,212,027 = 606,212,027
and
-1 x -606,212,027 = 606,212,027
Notice both answers equal 606,212,027
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 606,212,027 and divide it by 2:
606,212,027 ÷ 2 = 303,106,013.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,106,013.5 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 | 606,212,027 | |
| -1 | -606,212,027 |
Now, we try dividing 606,212,027 by 3:
606,212,027 ÷ 3 = 202,070,675.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,070,675.6667 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 | 606,212,027 | |
| -1 | -606,212,027 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
606,212,027 ÷ 4 = 151,553,006.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,553,006.75 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 | 606,212,027 | |
| -1 | 606,212,027 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 439 | 493 | 2,801 | 7,463 | 12,731 | 47,617 | 81,229 | 216,427 | 1,229,639 | 1,380,893 | 20,903,863 | 35,659,531 | 606,212,027 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -439 | -493 | -2,801 | -7,463 | -12,731 | -47,617 | -81,229 | -216,427 | -1,229,639 | -1,380,893 | -20,903,863 | -35,659,531 | -606,212,027 |
