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 613,275,553, 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 | 613,275,553 | |
| -1 | -613,275,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 613,275,553.
Example:
1 x 613,275,553 = 613,275,553
and
-1 x -613,275,553 = 613,275,553
Notice both answers equal 613,275,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 613,275,553 and divide it by 2:
613,275,553 ÷ 2 = 306,637,776.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 306,637,776.5 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 | 613,275,553 | |
| -1 | -613,275,553 |
Now, we try dividing 613,275,553 by 3:
613,275,553 ÷ 3 = 204,425,184.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 204,425,184.3333 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 | 613,275,553 | |
| -1 | -613,275,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
613,275,553 ÷ 4 = 153,318,888.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 153,318,888.25 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 | 613,275,553 | |
| -1 | 613,275,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 121 | 523 | 881 | 1,331 | 5,753 | 9,691 | 63,283 | 106,601 | 460,763 | 696,113 | 1,172,611 | 5,068,393 | 55,752,323 | 613,275,553 |
| -1 | -11 | -121 | -523 | -881 | -1,331 | -5,753 | -9,691 | -63,283 | -106,601 | -460,763 | -696,113 | -1,172,611 | -5,068,393 | -55,752,323 | -613,275,553 |
