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 300,112,333, 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 | 300,112,333 | |
| -1 | -300,112,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 300,112,333.
Example:
1 x 300,112,333 = 300,112,333
and
-1 x -300,112,333 = 300,112,333
Notice both answers equal 300,112,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 300,112,333 and divide it by 2:
300,112,333 ÷ 2 = 150,056,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,056,166.5 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 | 300,112,333 | |
| -1 | -300,112,333 |
Now, we try dividing 300,112,333 by 3:
300,112,333 ÷ 3 = 100,037,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,037,444.3333 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 | 300,112,333 | |
| -1 | -300,112,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
300,112,333 ÷ 4 = 75,028,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,028,083.25 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 | 300,112,333 | |
| -1 | 300,112,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 41 | 389 | 607 | 1,271 | 12,059 | 15,949 | 18,817 | 24,887 | 236,123 | 494,419 | 771,497 | 7,319,813 | 9,681,043 | 300,112,333 |
| -1 | -31 | -41 | -389 | -607 | -1,271 | -12,059 | -15,949 | -18,817 | -24,887 | -236,123 | -494,419 | -771,497 | -7,319,813 | -9,681,043 | -300,112,333 |
