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 622,770,737, 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 | 622,770,737 | |
| -1 | -622,770,737 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 622,770,737.
Example:
1 x 622,770,737 = 622,770,737
and
-1 x -622,770,737 = 622,770,737
Notice both answers equal 622,770,737
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 622,770,737 and divide it by 2:
622,770,737 ÷ 2 = 311,385,368.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 311,385,368.5 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 | 622,770,737 | |
| -1 | -622,770,737 |
Now, we try dividing 622,770,737 by 3:
622,770,737 ÷ 3 = 207,590,245.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 207,590,245.6667 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 | 622,770,737 | |
| -1 | -622,770,737 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
622,770,737 ÷ 4 = 155,692,684.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 155,692,684.25 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 | 622,770,737 | |
| -1 | 622,770,737 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 109 | 271 | 727 | 3,161 | 7,859 | 21,083 | 29,539 | 79,243 | 197,017 | 856,631 | 2,298,047 | 5,713,493 | 21,474,853 | 622,770,737 |
| -1 | -29 | -109 | -271 | -727 | -3,161 | -7,859 | -21,083 | -29,539 | -79,243 | -197,017 | -856,631 | -2,298,047 | -5,713,493 | -21,474,853 | -622,770,737 |
