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 614,461,255, 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 | 614,461,255 | |
| -1 | -614,461,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 614,461,255.
Example:
1 x 614,461,255 = 614,461,255
and
-1 x -614,461,255 = 614,461,255
Notice both answers equal 614,461,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 614,461,255 and divide it by 2:
614,461,255 ÷ 2 = 307,230,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 307,230,627.5 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 | 614,461,255 | |
| -1 | -614,461,255 |
Now, we try dividing 614,461,255 by 3:
614,461,255 ÷ 3 = 204,820,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 204,820,418.3333 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 | 614,461,255 | |
| -1 | -614,461,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
614,461,255 ÷ 4 = 153,615,313.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 153,615,313.75 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 | 614,461,255 | |
| -1 | 614,461,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 199 | 313 | 995 | 1,565 | 1,973 | 9,865 | 62,287 | 311,435 | 392,627 | 617,549 | 1,963,135 | 3,087,745 | 122,892,251 | 614,461,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -199 | -313 | -995 | -1,565 | -1,973 | -9,865 | -62,287 | -311,435 | -392,627 | -617,549 | -1,963,135 | -3,087,745 | -122,892,251 | -614,461,255 |
