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 303,034,333, 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 | 303,034,333 | |
| -1 | -303,034,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,034,333.
Example:
1 x 303,034,333 = 303,034,333
and
-1 x -303,034,333 = 303,034,333
Notice both answers equal 303,034,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,034,333 and divide it by 2:
303,034,333 ÷ 2 = 151,517,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,517,166.5 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 | 303,034,333 | |
| -1 | -303,034,333 |
Now, we try dividing 303,034,333 by 3:
303,034,333 ÷ 3 = 101,011,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,011,444.3333 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 | 303,034,333 | |
| -1 | -303,034,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,034,333 ÷ 4 = 75,758,583.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,758,583.25 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 | 303,034,333 | |
| -1 | 303,034,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 47 | 119 | 329 | 799 | 5,593 | 54,181 | 379,267 | 921,077 | 2,546,507 | 6,447,539 | 17,825,549 | 43,290,619 | 303,034,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -47 | -119 | -329 | -799 | -5,593 | -54,181 | -379,267 | -921,077 | -2,546,507 | -6,447,539 | -17,825,549 | -43,290,619 | -303,034,333 |
