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 703,306,255, 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 | 703,306,255 | |
| -1 | -703,306,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 703,306,255.
Example:
1 x 703,306,255 = 703,306,255
and
-1 x -703,306,255 = 703,306,255
Notice both answers equal 703,306,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 703,306,255 and divide it by 2:
703,306,255 ÷ 2 = 351,653,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 351,653,127.5 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 | 703,306,255 | |
| -1 | -703,306,255 |
Now, we try dividing 703,306,255 by 3:
703,306,255 ÷ 3 = 234,435,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 234,435,418.3333 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 | 703,306,255 | |
| -1 | -703,306,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
703,306,255 ÷ 4 = 175,826,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 175,826,563.75 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 | 703,306,255 | |
| -1 | 703,306,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 211 | 295 | 1,055 | 11,299 | 12,449 | 56,495 | 62,245 | 666,641 | 2,384,089 | 3,333,205 | 11,920,445 | 140,661,251 | 703,306,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -211 | -295 | -1,055 | -11,299 | -12,449 | -56,495 | -62,245 | -666,641 | -2,384,089 | -3,333,205 | -11,920,445 | -140,661,251 | -703,306,255 |
