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 563,061,523, 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 | 563,061,523 | |
| -1 | -563,061,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 563,061,523.
Example:
1 x 563,061,523 = 563,061,523
and
-1 x -563,061,523 = 563,061,523
Notice both answers equal 563,061,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 563,061,523 and divide it by 2:
563,061,523 ÷ 2 = 281,530,761.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 281,530,761.5 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 | 563,061,523 | |
| -1 | -563,061,523 |
Now, we try dividing 563,061,523 by 3:
563,061,523 ÷ 3 = 187,687,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 187,687,174.3333 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 | 563,061,523 | |
| -1 | -563,061,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
563,061,523 ÷ 4 = 140,765,380.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 140,765,380.75 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 | 563,061,523 | |
| -1 | 563,061,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 251 | 703 | 3,191 | 4,769 | 9,287 | 60,629 | 118,067 | 176,453 | 800,941 | 2,243,273 | 15,217,879 | 29,634,817 | 563,061,523 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -251 | -703 | -3,191 | -4,769 | -9,287 | -60,629 | -118,067 | -176,453 | -800,941 | -2,243,273 | -15,217,879 | -29,634,817 | -563,061,523 |
