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 616,052,635, 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 | 616,052,635 | |
| -1 | -616,052,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 616,052,635.
Example:
1 x 616,052,635 = 616,052,635
and
-1 x -616,052,635 = 616,052,635
Notice both answers equal 616,052,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 616,052,635 and divide it by 2:
616,052,635 ÷ 2 = 308,026,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 308,026,317.5 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 | 616,052,635 | |
| -1 | -616,052,635 |
Now, we try dividing 616,052,635 by 3:
616,052,635 ÷ 3 = 205,350,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 205,350,878.3333 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 | 616,052,635 | |
| -1 | -616,052,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
616,052,635 ÷ 4 = 154,013,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 154,013,158.75 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 | 616,052,635 | |
| -1 | 616,052,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 241 | 1,205 | 2,651 | 13,255 | 46,477 | 232,385 | 511,247 | 2,556,235 | 11,200,957 | 56,004,785 | 123,210,527 | 616,052,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -241 | -1,205 | -2,651 | -13,255 | -46,477 | -232,385 | -511,247 | -2,556,235 | -11,200,957 | -56,004,785 | -123,210,527 | -616,052,635 |
