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 610,035,265, 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 | 610,035,265 | |
| -1 | -610,035,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 610,035,265.
Example:
1 x 610,035,265 = 610,035,265
and
-1 x -610,035,265 = 610,035,265
Notice both answers equal 610,035,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 610,035,265 and divide it by 2:
610,035,265 ÷ 2 = 305,017,632.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 305,017,632.5 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 | 610,035,265 | |
| -1 | -610,035,265 |
Now, we try dividing 610,035,265 by 3:
610,035,265 ÷ 3 = 203,345,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 203,345,088.3333 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 | 610,035,265 | |
| -1 | -610,035,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
610,035,265 ÷ 4 = 152,508,816.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 152,508,816.25 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 | 610,035,265 | |
| -1 | 610,035,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,433 | 7,165 | 10,031 | 12,163 | 50,155 | 60,815 | 85,141 | 425,705 | 17,429,579 | 87,147,895 | 122,007,053 | 610,035,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,433 | -7,165 | -10,031 | -12,163 | -50,155 | -60,815 | -85,141 | -425,705 | -17,429,579 | -87,147,895 | -122,007,053 | -610,035,265 |
