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 824,663,363, 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 | 824,663,363 | |
| -1 | -824,663,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 824,663,363.
Example:
1 x 824,663,363 = 824,663,363
and
-1 x -824,663,363 = 824,663,363
Notice both answers equal 824,663,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 824,663,363 and divide it by 2:
824,663,363 ÷ 2 = 412,331,681.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 412,331,681.5 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 | 824,663,363 | |
| -1 | -824,663,363 |
Now, we try dividing 824,663,363 by 3:
824,663,363 ÷ 3 = 274,887,787.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 274,887,787.6667 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 | 824,663,363 | |
| -1 | -824,663,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
824,663,363 ÷ 4 = 206,165,840.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 206,165,840.75 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 | 824,663,363 | |
| -1 | 824,663,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 47 | 199 | 1,739 | 2,383 | 7,363 | 9,353 | 88,171 | 112,001 | 346,061 | 474,217 | 4,144,037 | 17,546,029 | 22,288,199 | 824,663,363 |
| -1 | -37 | -47 | -199 | -1,739 | -2,383 | -7,363 | -9,353 | -88,171 | -112,001 | -346,061 | -474,217 | -4,144,037 | -17,546,029 | -22,288,199 | -824,663,363 |
