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 704,566,375, 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 | 704,566,375 | |
| -1 | -704,566,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 704,566,375.
Example:
1 x 704,566,375 = 704,566,375
and
-1 x -704,566,375 = 704,566,375
Notice both answers equal 704,566,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 704,566,375 and divide it by 2:
704,566,375 ÷ 2 = 352,283,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 352,283,187.5 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 | 704,566,375 | |
| -1 | -704,566,375 |
Now, we try dividing 704,566,375 by 3:
704,566,375 ÷ 3 = 234,855,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 234,855,458.3333 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 | 704,566,375 | |
| -1 | -704,566,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
704,566,375 ÷ 4 = 176,141,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 176,141,593.75 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 | 704,566,375 | |
| -1 | 704,566,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 179 | 895 | 4,475 | 22,375 | 31,489 | 157,445 | 787,225 | 3,936,125 | 5,636,531 | 28,182,655 | 140,913,275 | 704,566,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -179 | -895 | -4,475 | -22,375 | -31,489 | -157,445 | -787,225 | -3,936,125 | -5,636,531 | -28,182,655 | -140,913,275 | -704,566,375 |
