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 302,114,533, 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 | 302,114,533 | |
| -1 | -302,114,533 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 302,114,533.
Example:
1 x 302,114,533 = 302,114,533
and
-1 x -302,114,533 = 302,114,533
Notice both answers equal 302,114,533
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 302,114,533 and divide it by 2:
302,114,533 ÷ 2 = 151,057,266.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,057,266.5 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 | 302,114,533 | |
| -1 | -302,114,533 |
Now, we try dividing 302,114,533 by 3:
302,114,533 ÷ 3 = 100,704,844.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,704,844.3333 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 | 302,114,533 | |
| -1 | -302,114,533 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
302,114,533 ÷ 4 = 75,528,633.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,528,633.25 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 | 302,114,533 | |
| -1 | 302,114,533 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 101 | 569 | 707 | 751 | 3,983 | 5,257 | 57,469 | 75,851 | 402,283 | 427,319 | 530,957 | 2,991,233 | 43,159,219 | 302,114,533 |
| -1 | -7 | -101 | -569 | -707 | -751 | -3,983 | -5,257 | -57,469 | -75,851 | -402,283 | -427,319 | -530,957 | -2,991,233 | -43,159,219 | -302,114,533 |
