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 616,033,327, 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 | 616,033,327 | |
| -1 | -616,033,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 616,033,327.
Example:
1 x 616,033,327 = 616,033,327
and
-1 x -616,033,327 = 616,033,327
Notice both answers equal 616,033,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 616,033,327 and divide it by 2:
616,033,327 ÷ 2 = 308,016,663.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 308,016,663.5 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 | 616,033,327 | |
| -1 | -616,033,327 |
Now, we try dividing 616,033,327 by 3:
616,033,327 ÷ 3 = 205,344,442.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 205,344,442.3333 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 | 616,033,327 | |
| -1 | -616,033,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
616,033,327 ÷ 4 = 154,008,331.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 154,008,331.75 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 | 616,033,327 | |
| -1 | 616,033,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 61 | 91 | 427 | 793 | 5,551 | 110,977 | 776,839 | 1,442,701 | 6,769,597 | 10,098,907 | 47,387,179 | 88,004,761 | 616,033,327 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -61 | -91 | -427 | -793 | -5,551 | -110,977 | -776,839 | -1,442,701 | -6,769,597 | -10,098,907 | -47,387,179 | -88,004,761 | -616,033,327 |
