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 303,543,455, 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 | 303,543,455 | |
| -1 | -303,543,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,543,455.
Example:
1 x 303,543,455 = 303,543,455
and
-1 x -303,543,455 = 303,543,455
Notice both answers equal 303,543,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,543,455 and divide it by 2:
303,543,455 ÷ 2 = 151,771,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,771,727.5 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 | 303,543,455 | |
| -1 | -303,543,455 |
Now, we try dividing 303,543,455 by 3:
303,543,455 ÷ 3 = 101,181,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,181,151.6667 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 | 303,543,455 | |
| -1 | -303,543,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,543,455 ÷ 4 = 75,885,863.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,885,863.75 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 | 303,543,455 | |
| -1 | 303,543,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 265 | 347 | 1,735 | 3,301 | 16,505 | 18,391 | 91,955 | 174,953 | 874,765 | 1,145,447 | 5,727,235 | 60,708,691 | 303,543,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -265 | -347 | -1,735 | -3,301 | -16,505 | -18,391 | -91,955 | -174,953 | -874,765 | -1,145,447 | -5,727,235 | -60,708,691 | -303,543,455 |
