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 654,314,335, 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 | 654,314,335 | |
| -1 | -654,314,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 654,314,335.
Example:
1 x 654,314,335 = 654,314,335
and
-1 x -654,314,335 = 654,314,335
Notice both answers equal 654,314,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 654,314,335 and divide it by 2:
654,314,335 ÷ 2 = 327,157,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 327,157,167.5 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 | 654,314,335 | |
| -1 | -654,314,335 |
Now, we try dividing 654,314,335 by 3:
654,314,335 ÷ 3 = 218,104,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 218,104,778.3333 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 | 654,314,335 | |
| -1 | -654,314,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
654,314,335 ÷ 4 = 163,578,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 163,578,583.75 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 | 654,314,335 | |
| -1 | 654,314,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 223 | 647 | 907 | 1,115 | 3,235 | 4,535 | 144,281 | 202,261 | 586,829 | 721,405 | 1,011,305 | 2,934,145 | 130,862,867 | 654,314,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -223 | -647 | -907 | -1,115 | -3,235 | -4,535 | -144,281 | -202,261 | -586,829 | -721,405 | -1,011,305 | -2,934,145 | -130,862,867 | -654,314,335 |
