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 467,495,945, 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 | 467,495,945 | |
| -1 | -467,495,945 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 467,495,945.
Example:
1 x 467,495,945 = 467,495,945
and
-1 x -467,495,945 = 467,495,945
Notice both answers equal 467,495,945
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 467,495,945 and divide it by 2:
467,495,945 ÷ 2 = 233,747,972.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 233,747,972.5 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 | 467,495,945 | |
| -1 | -467,495,945 |
Now, we try dividing 467,495,945 by 3:
467,495,945 ÷ 3 = 155,831,981.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 155,831,981.6667 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 | 467,495,945 | |
| -1 | -467,495,945 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
467,495,945 ÷ 4 = 116,873,986.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 116,873,986.25 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 | 467,495,945 | |
| -1 | 467,495,945 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,549 | 7,745 | 8,623 | 10,843 | 43,115 | 54,215 | 60,361 | 301,805 | 13,357,027 | 66,785,135 | 93,499,189 | 467,495,945 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,549 | -7,745 | -8,623 | -10,843 | -43,115 | -54,215 | -60,361 | -301,805 | -13,357,027 | -66,785,135 | -93,499,189 | -467,495,945 |
