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 606,465,233, 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 | 606,465,233 | |
| -1 | -606,465,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 606,465,233.
Example:
1 x 606,465,233 = 606,465,233
and
-1 x -606,465,233 = 606,465,233
Notice both answers equal 606,465,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 606,465,233 and divide it by 2:
606,465,233 ÷ 2 = 303,232,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,232,616.5 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 | 606,465,233 | |
| -1 | -606,465,233 |
Now, we try dividing 606,465,233 by 3:
606,465,233 ÷ 3 = 202,155,077.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,155,077.6667 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 | 606,465,233 | |
| -1 | -606,465,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
606,465,233 ÷ 4 = 151,616,308.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,616,308.25 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 | 606,465,233 | |
| -1 | 606,465,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 61 | 607 | 671 | 1,489 | 6,677 | 16,379 | 37,027 | 90,829 | 407,297 | 903,823 | 999,119 | 9,942,053 | 55,133,203 | 606,465,233 |
| -1 | -11 | -61 | -607 | -671 | -1,489 | -6,677 | -16,379 | -37,027 | -90,829 | -407,297 | -903,823 | -999,119 | -9,942,053 | -55,133,203 | -606,465,233 |
