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 606,246,073, 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 | 606,246,073 | |
| -1 | -606,246,073 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 606,246,073.
Example:
1 x 606,246,073 = 606,246,073
and
-1 x -606,246,073 = 606,246,073
Notice both answers equal 606,246,073
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 606,246,073 and divide it by 2:
606,246,073 ÷ 2 = 303,123,036.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,123,036.5 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 | 606,246,073 | |
| -1 | -606,246,073 |
Now, we try dividing 606,246,073 by 3:
606,246,073 ÷ 3 = 202,082,024.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,082,024.3333 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 | 606,246,073 | |
| -1 | -606,246,073 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
606,246,073 ÷ 4 = 151,561,518.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,561,518.25 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 | 606,246,073 | |
| -1 | 606,246,073 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 37 | 251 | 1,073 | 2,251 | 7,279 | 9,287 | 65,279 | 83,287 | 269,323 | 565,001 | 2,415,323 | 16,385,029 | 20,905,037 | 606,246,073 |
| -1 | -29 | -37 | -251 | -1,073 | -2,251 | -7,279 | -9,287 | -65,279 | -83,287 | -269,323 | -565,001 | -2,415,323 | -16,385,029 | -20,905,037 | -606,246,073 |
