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 606,424,463, 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 | 606,424,463 | |
| -1 | -606,424,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 606,424,463.
Example:
1 x 606,424,463 = 606,424,463
and
-1 x -606,424,463 = 606,424,463
Notice both answers equal 606,424,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 606,424,463 and divide it by 2:
606,424,463 ÷ 2 = 303,212,231.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,212,231.5 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 | 606,424,463 | |
| -1 | -606,424,463 |
Now, we try dividing 606,424,463 by 3:
606,424,463 ÷ 3 = 202,141,487.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,141,487.6667 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 | 606,424,463 | |
| -1 | -606,424,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
606,424,463 ÷ 4 = 151,606,115.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,606,115.75 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 | 606,424,463 | |
| -1 | 606,424,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 53 | 437 | 1,007 | 1,219 | 23,161 | 26,183 | 497,477 | 602,209 | 1,387,699 | 11,441,971 | 26,366,281 | 31,917,077 | 606,424,463 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -53 | -437 | -1,007 | -1,219 | -23,161 | -26,183 | -497,477 | -602,209 | -1,387,699 | -11,441,971 | -26,366,281 | -31,917,077 | -606,424,463 |
