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 635,411,651, 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 | 635,411,651 | |
| -1 | -635,411,651 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 635,411,651.
Example:
1 x 635,411,651 = 635,411,651
and
-1 x -635,411,651 = 635,411,651
Notice both answers equal 635,411,651
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 635,411,651 and divide it by 2:
635,411,651 ÷ 2 = 317,705,825.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 317,705,825.5 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 | 635,411,651 | |
| -1 | -635,411,651 |
Now, we try dividing 635,411,651 by 3:
635,411,651 ÷ 3 = 211,803,883.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 211,803,883.6667 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 | 635,411,651 | |
| -1 | -635,411,651 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
635,411,651 ÷ 4 = 158,852,912.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 158,852,912.75 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 | 635,411,651 | |
| -1 | 635,411,651 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 413 | 587 | 2,621 | 4,109 | 18,347 | 34,633 | 154,639 | 242,431 | 1,082,473 | 1,538,527 | 10,769,689 | 90,773,093 | 635,411,651 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -413 | -587 | -2,621 | -4,109 | -18,347 | -34,633 | -154,639 | -242,431 | -1,082,473 | -1,538,527 | -10,769,689 | -90,773,093 | -635,411,651 |
