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 303,415,099, 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 | 303,415,099 | |
| -1 | -303,415,099 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,415,099.
Example:
1 x 303,415,099 = 303,415,099
and
-1 x -303,415,099 = 303,415,099
Notice both answers equal 303,415,099
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,415,099 and divide it by 2:
303,415,099 ÷ 2 = 151,707,549.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,707,549.5 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 | 303,415,099 | |
| -1 | -303,415,099 |
Now, we try dividing 303,415,099 by 3:
303,415,099 ÷ 3 = 101,138,366.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,138,366.3333 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 | 303,415,099 | |
| -1 | -303,415,099 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,415,099 ÷ 4 = 75,853,774.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,853,774.75 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 | 303,415,099 | |
| -1 | 303,415,099 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 221 | 941 | 1,459 | 12,233 | 15,997 | 18,967 | 24,803 | 207,961 | 322,439 | 1,372,919 | 17,847,947 | 23,339,623 | 303,415,099 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -221 | -941 | -1,459 | -12,233 | -15,997 | -18,967 | -24,803 | -207,961 | -322,439 | -1,372,919 | -17,847,947 | -23,339,623 | -303,415,099 |
