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 610,733,551, 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 | 610,733,551 | |
| -1 | -610,733,551 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 610,733,551.
Example:
1 x 610,733,551 = 610,733,551
and
-1 x -610,733,551 = 610,733,551
Notice both answers equal 610,733,551
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 610,733,551 and divide it by 2:
610,733,551 ÷ 2 = 305,366,775.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 305,366,775.5 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 | 610,733,551 | |
| -1 | -610,733,551 |
Now, we try dividing 610,733,551 by 3:
610,733,551 ÷ 3 = 203,577,850.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 203,577,850.3333 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 | 610,733,551 | |
| -1 | -610,733,551 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
610,733,551 ÷ 4 = 152,683,387.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 152,683,387.75 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 | 610,733,551 | |
| -1 | 610,733,551 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 71 | 487 | 1,039 | 1,207 | 8,279 | 17,663 | 34,577 | 73,769 | 505,993 | 587,809 | 1,254,073 | 8,601,881 | 35,925,503 | 610,733,551 |
| -1 | -17 | -71 | -487 | -1,039 | -1,207 | -8,279 | -17,663 | -34,577 | -73,769 | -505,993 | -587,809 | -1,254,073 | -8,601,881 | -35,925,503 | -610,733,551 |
