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 605,435,435, 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 | 605,435,435 | |
| -1 | -605,435,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 605,435,435.
Example:
1 x 605,435,435 = 605,435,435
and
-1 x -605,435,435 = 605,435,435
Notice both answers equal 605,435,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 605,435,435 and divide it by 2:
605,435,435 ÷ 2 = 302,717,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,717,717.5 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 | 605,435,435 | |
| -1 | -605,435,435 |
Now, we try dividing 605,435,435 by 3:
605,435,435 ÷ 3 = 201,811,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,811,811.6667 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 | 605,435,435 | |
| -1 | -605,435,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
605,435,435 ÷ 4 = 151,358,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,358,858.75 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 | 605,435,435 | |
| -1 | 605,435,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 47 | 55 | 235 | 517 | 2,585 | 234,211 | 1,171,055 | 2,576,321 | 11,007,917 | 12,881,605 | 55,039,585 | 121,087,087 | 605,435,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -47 | -55 | -235 | -517 | -2,585 | -234,211 | -1,171,055 | -2,576,321 | -11,007,917 | -12,881,605 | -55,039,585 | -121,087,087 | -605,435,435 |
