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 701,461,565, 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 | 701,461,565 | |
| -1 | -701,461,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 701,461,565.
Example:
1 x 701,461,565 = 701,461,565
and
-1 x -701,461,565 = 701,461,565
Notice both answers equal 701,461,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 701,461,565 and divide it by 2:
701,461,565 ÷ 2 = 350,730,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 350,730,782.5 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 | 701,461,565 | |
| -1 | -701,461,565 |
Now, we try dividing 701,461,565 by 3:
701,461,565 ÷ 3 = 233,820,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 233,820,521.6667 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 | 701,461,565 | |
| -1 | -701,461,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
701,461,565 ÷ 4 = 175,365,391.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 175,365,391.25 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 | 701,461,565 | |
| -1 | 701,461,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 1,178,927 | 5,894,635 | 8,252,489 | 20,041,759 | 41,262,445 | 100,208,795 | 140,292,313 | 701,461,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -1,178,927 | -5,894,635 | -8,252,489 | -20,041,759 | -41,262,445 | -100,208,795 | -140,292,313 | -701,461,565 |
