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 606,315,151, 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 | 606,315,151 | |
| -1 | -606,315,151 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 606,315,151.
Example:
1 x 606,315,151 = 606,315,151
and
-1 x -606,315,151 = 606,315,151
Notice both answers equal 606,315,151
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 606,315,151 and divide it by 2:
606,315,151 ÷ 2 = 303,157,575.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,157,575.5 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 | 606,315,151 | |
| -1 | -606,315,151 |
Now, we try dividing 606,315,151 by 3:
606,315,151 ÷ 3 = 202,105,050.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,105,050.3333 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 | 606,315,151 | |
| -1 | -606,315,151 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
606,315,151 ÷ 4 = 151,578,787.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,578,787.75 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 | 606,315,151 | |
| -1 | 606,315,151 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 73 | 377 | 949 | 2,117 | 22,031 | 27,521 | 286,403 | 638,899 | 1,608,263 | 8,305,687 | 20,907,419 | 46,639,627 | 606,315,151 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -73 | -377 | -949 | -2,117 | -22,031 | -27,521 | -286,403 | -638,899 | -1,608,263 | -8,305,687 | -20,907,419 | -46,639,627 | -606,315,151 |
