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 607,171,595, 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 | 607,171,595 | |
| -1 | -607,171,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 607,171,595.
Example:
1 x 607,171,595 = 607,171,595
and
-1 x -607,171,595 = 607,171,595
Notice both answers equal 607,171,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 607,171,595 and divide it by 2:
607,171,595 ÷ 2 = 303,585,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,585,797.5 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 | 607,171,595 | |
| -1 | -607,171,595 |
Now, we try dividing 607,171,595 by 3:
607,171,595 ÷ 3 = 202,390,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,390,531.6667 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 | 607,171,595 | |
| -1 | -607,171,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
607,171,595 ÷ 4 = 151,792,898.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,792,898.75 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 | 607,171,595 | |
| -1 | 607,171,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 157 | 785 | 3,611 | 18,055 | 33,629 | 168,145 | 773,467 | 3,867,335 | 5,279,753 | 26,398,765 | 121,434,319 | 607,171,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -157 | -785 | -3,611 | -18,055 | -33,629 | -168,145 | -773,467 | -3,867,335 | -5,279,753 | -26,398,765 | -121,434,319 | -607,171,595 |
