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 653,600,177, 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 | 653,600,177 | |
| -1 | -653,600,177 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 653,600,177.
Example:
1 x 653,600,177 = 653,600,177
and
-1 x -653,600,177 = 653,600,177
Notice both answers equal 653,600,177
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 653,600,177 and divide it by 2:
653,600,177 ÷ 2 = 326,800,088.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 326,800,088.5 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 | 653,600,177 | |
| -1 | -653,600,177 |
Now, we try dividing 653,600,177 by 3:
653,600,177 ÷ 3 = 217,866,725.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 217,866,725.6667 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 | 653,600,177 | |
| -1 | -653,600,177 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
653,600,177 ÷ 4 = 163,400,044.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 163,400,044.25 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 | 653,600,177 | |
| -1 | 653,600,177 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 61 | 199 | 1,403 | 2,341 | 4,577 | 12,139 | 53,843 | 142,801 | 279,197 | 465,859 | 3,284,423 | 10,714,757 | 28,417,399 | 653,600,177 |
| -1 | -23 | -61 | -199 | -1,403 | -2,341 | -4,577 | -12,139 | -53,843 | -142,801 | -279,197 | -465,859 | -3,284,423 | -10,714,757 | -28,417,399 | -653,600,177 |
