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 704,463,245, 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 | 704,463,245 | |
| -1 | -704,463,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 704,463,245.
Example:
1 x 704,463,245 = 704,463,245
and
-1 x -704,463,245 = 704,463,245
Notice both answers equal 704,463,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 704,463,245 and divide it by 2:
704,463,245 ÷ 2 = 352,231,622.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 352,231,622.5 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 | 704,463,245 | |
| -1 | -704,463,245 |
Now, we try dividing 704,463,245 by 3:
704,463,245 ÷ 3 = 234,821,081.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 234,821,081.6667 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 | 704,463,245 | |
| -1 | -704,463,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
704,463,245 ÷ 4 = 176,115,811.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 176,115,811.25 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 | 704,463,245 | |
| -1 | 704,463,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 295 | 593 | 2,965 | 4,027 | 20,135 | 34,987 | 174,935 | 237,593 | 1,187,965 | 2,388,011 | 11,940,055 | 140,892,649 | 704,463,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -295 | -593 | -2,965 | -4,027 | -20,135 | -34,987 | -174,935 | -237,593 | -1,187,965 | -2,388,011 | -11,940,055 | -140,892,649 | -704,463,245 |
