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 610,014,085, 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 | 610,014,085 | |
| -1 | -610,014,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 610,014,085.
Example:
1 x 610,014,085 = 610,014,085
and
-1 x -610,014,085 = 610,014,085
Notice both answers equal 610,014,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 610,014,085 and divide it by 2:
610,014,085 ÷ 2 = 305,007,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 305,007,042.5 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 | 610,014,085 | |
| -1 | -610,014,085 |
Now, we try dividing 610,014,085 by 3:
610,014,085 ÷ 3 = 203,338,028.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 203,338,028.3333 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 | 610,014,085 | |
| -1 | -610,014,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
610,014,085 ÷ 4 = 152,503,521.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 152,503,521.25 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 | 610,014,085 | |
| -1 | 610,014,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 97 | 251 | 485 | 1,255 | 5,011 | 24,347 | 25,055 | 121,735 | 486,067 | 1,257,761 | 2,430,335 | 6,288,805 | 122,002,817 | 610,014,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -97 | -251 | -485 | -1,255 | -5,011 | -24,347 | -25,055 | -121,735 | -486,067 | -1,257,761 | -2,430,335 | -6,288,805 | -122,002,817 | -610,014,085 |
