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 415,710,701, 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 | 415,710,701 | |
| -1 | -415,710,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 415,710,701.
Example:
1 x 415,710,701 = 415,710,701
and
-1 x -415,710,701 = 415,710,701
Notice both answers equal 415,710,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 415,710,701 and divide it by 2:
415,710,701 ÷ 2 = 207,855,350.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 207,855,350.5 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 | 415,710,701 | |
| -1 | -415,710,701 |
Now, we try dividing 415,710,701 by 3:
415,710,701 ÷ 3 = 138,570,233.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 138,570,233.6667 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 | 415,710,701 | |
| -1 | -415,710,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
415,710,701 ÷ 4 = 103,927,675.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 103,927,675.25 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 | 415,710,701 | |
| -1 | 415,710,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 151 | 547 | 719 | 1,057 | 3,829 | 5,033 | 82,597 | 108,569 | 393,293 | 578,179 | 759,983 | 2,753,051 | 59,387,243 | 415,710,701 |
| -1 | -7 | -151 | -547 | -719 | -1,057 | -3,829 | -5,033 | -82,597 | -108,569 | -393,293 | -578,179 | -759,983 | -2,753,051 | -59,387,243 | -415,710,701 |
