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 705,146,629, 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 | 705,146,629 | |
| -1 | -705,146,629 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 705,146,629.
Example:
1 x 705,146,629 = 705,146,629
and
-1 x -705,146,629 = 705,146,629
Notice both answers equal 705,146,629
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 705,146,629 and divide it by 2:
705,146,629 ÷ 2 = 352,573,314.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 352,573,314.5 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 | 705,146,629 | |
| -1 | -705,146,629 |
Now, we try dividing 705,146,629 by 3:
705,146,629 ÷ 3 = 235,048,876.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 235,048,876.3333 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 | 705,146,629 | |
| -1 | -705,146,629 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
705,146,629 ÷ 4 = 176,286,657.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 176,286,657.25 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 | 705,146,629 | |
| -1 | 705,146,629 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 37 | 319 | 407 | 1,073 | 11,803 | 59,743 | 657,173 | 1,732,547 | 2,210,491 | 19,058,017 | 24,315,401 | 64,104,239 | 705,146,629 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -37 | -319 | -407 | -1,073 | -11,803 | -59,743 | -657,173 | -1,732,547 | -2,210,491 | -19,058,017 | -24,315,401 | -64,104,239 | -705,146,629 |
