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 702,306,059, 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 | 702,306,059 | |
| -1 | -702,306,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 702,306,059.
Example:
1 x 702,306,059 = 702,306,059
and
-1 x -702,306,059 = 702,306,059
Notice both answers equal 702,306,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 702,306,059 and divide it by 2:
702,306,059 ÷ 2 = 351,153,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 351,153,029.5 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 | 702,306,059 | |
| -1 | -702,306,059 |
Now, we try dividing 702,306,059 by 3:
702,306,059 ÷ 3 = 234,102,019.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 234,102,019.6667 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 | 702,306,059 | |
| -1 | -702,306,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
702,306,059 ÷ 4 = 175,576,514.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 175,576,514.75 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 | 702,306,059 | |
| -1 | 702,306,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 157 | 1,099 | 2,041 | 14,287 | 49,157 | 344,099 | 639,041 | 4,473,287 | 7,717,649 | 54,023,543 | 100,329,437 | 702,306,059 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -157 | -1,099 | -2,041 | -14,287 | -49,157 | -344,099 | -639,041 | -4,473,287 | -7,717,649 | -54,023,543 | -100,329,437 | -702,306,059 |
