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 610,011,259, 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 | 610,011,259 | |
| -1 | -610,011,259 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 610,011,259.
Example:
1 x 610,011,259 = 610,011,259
and
-1 x -610,011,259 = 610,011,259
Notice both answers equal 610,011,259
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 610,011,259 and divide it by 2:
610,011,259 ÷ 2 = 305,005,629.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 305,005,629.5 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 | 610,011,259 | |
| -1 | -610,011,259 |
Now, we try dividing 610,011,259 by 3:
610,011,259 ÷ 3 = 203,337,086.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 203,337,086.3333 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 | 610,011,259 | |
| -1 | -610,011,259 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
610,011,259 ÷ 4 = 152,502,814.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 152,502,814.75 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 | 610,011,259 | |
| -1 | 610,011,259 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 29 | 143 | 319 | 377 | 4,147 | 147,097 | 1,618,067 | 1,912,261 | 4,265,813 | 21,034,871 | 46,923,943 | 55,455,569 | 610,011,259 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -29 | -143 | -319 | -377 | -4,147 | -147,097 | -1,618,067 | -1,912,261 | -4,265,813 | -21,034,871 | -46,923,943 | -55,455,569 | -610,011,259 |
