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 303,233,029, 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 | 303,233,029 | |
| -1 | -303,233,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,233,029.
Example:
1 x 303,233,029 = 303,233,029
and
-1 x -303,233,029 = 303,233,029
Notice both answers equal 303,233,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,233,029 and divide it by 2:
303,233,029 ÷ 2 = 151,616,514.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,616,514.5 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 | 303,233,029 | |
| -1 | -303,233,029 |
Now, we try dividing 303,233,029 by 3:
303,233,029 ÷ 3 = 101,077,676.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,077,676.3333 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 | 303,233,029 | |
| -1 | -303,233,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,233,029 ÷ 4 = 75,808,257.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,808,257.25 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 | 303,233,029 | |
| -1 | 303,233,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 149 | 187 | 1,639 | 2,533 | 10,883 | 27,863 | 119,713 | 185,011 | 1,621,567 | 2,035,121 | 17,837,237 | 27,566,639 | 303,233,029 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -149 | -187 | -1,639 | -2,533 | -10,883 | -27,863 | -119,713 | -185,011 | -1,621,567 | -2,035,121 | -17,837,237 | -27,566,639 | -303,233,029 |
