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 654,361,307, 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 | 654,361,307 | |
| -1 | -654,361,307 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 654,361,307.
Example:
1 x 654,361,307 = 654,361,307
and
-1 x -654,361,307 = 654,361,307
Notice both answers equal 654,361,307
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 654,361,307 and divide it by 2:
654,361,307 ÷ 2 = 327,180,653.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 327,180,653.5 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 | 654,361,307 | |
| -1 | -654,361,307 |
Now, we try dividing 654,361,307 by 3:
654,361,307 ÷ 3 = 218,120,435.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 218,120,435.6667 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 | 654,361,307 | |
| -1 | -654,361,307 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
654,361,307 ÷ 4 = 163,590,326.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 163,590,326.75 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 | 654,361,307 | |
| -1 | 654,361,307 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 47 | 197 | 1,363 | 2,437 | 5,713 | 9,259 | 70,673 | 114,539 | 268,511 | 480,089 | 3,321,631 | 13,922,581 | 22,564,183 | 654,361,307 |
| -1 | -29 | -47 | -197 | -1,363 | -2,437 | -5,713 | -9,259 | -70,673 | -114,539 | -268,511 | -480,089 | -3,321,631 | -13,922,581 | -22,564,183 | -654,361,307 |
