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 241,320,443, 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 | 241,320,443 | |
| -1 | -241,320,443 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 241,320,443.
Example:
1 x 241,320,443 = 241,320,443
and
-1 x -241,320,443 = 241,320,443
Notice both answers equal 241,320,443
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 241,320,443 and divide it by 2:
241,320,443 ÷ 2 = 120,660,221.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 120,660,221.5 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 | 241,320,443 | |
| -1 | -241,320,443 |
Now, we try dividing 241,320,443 by 3:
241,320,443 ÷ 3 = 80,440,147.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 80,440,147.6667 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 | 241,320,443 | |
| -1 | -241,320,443 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
241,320,443 ÷ 4 = 60,330,110.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 60,330,110.75 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 | 241,320,443 | |
| -1 | 241,320,443 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 49 | 59 | 91 | 413 | 637 | 767 | 2,891 | 5,369 | 6,421 | 37,583 | 44,947 | 83,473 | 314,629 | 378,839 | 584,311 | 2,651,873 | 4,090,177 | 4,924,907 | 18,563,111 | 34,474,349 | 241,320,443 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -49 | -59 | -91 | -413 | -637 | -767 | -2,891 | -5,369 | -6,421 | -37,583 | -44,947 | -83,473 | -314,629 | -378,839 | -584,311 | -2,651,873 | -4,090,177 | -4,924,907 | -18,563,111 | -34,474,349 | -241,320,443 |
