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 700,171,043, 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 | 700,171,043 | |
| -1 | -700,171,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 700,171,043.
Example:
1 x 700,171,043 = 700,171,043
and
-1 x -700,171,043 = 700,171,043
Notice both answers equal 700,171,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 700,171,043 and divide it by 2:
700,171,043 ÷ 2 = 350,085,521.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 350,085,521.5 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 | 700,171,043 | |
| -1 | -700,171,043 |
Now, we try dividing 700,171,043 by 3:
700,171,043 ÷ 3 = 233,390,347.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 233,390,347.6667 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 | 700,171,043 | |
| -1 | -700,171,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
700,171,043 ÷ 4 = 175,042,760.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 175,042,760.75 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 | 700,171,043 | |
| -1 | 700,171,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 379 | 4,169 | 4,927 | 12,919 | 54,197 | 142,109 | 167,947 | 1,847,417 | 4,896,301 | 53,859,311 | 63,651,913 | 700,171,043 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -379 | -4,169 | -4,927 | -12,919 | -54,197 | -142,109 | -167,947 | -1,847,417 | -4,896,301 | -53,859,311 | -63,651,913 | -700,171,043 |
