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 304,000,333, 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 | 304,000,333 | |
| -1 | -304,000,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 304,000,333.
Example:
1 x 304,000,333 = 304,000,333
and
-1 x -304,000,333 = 304,000,333
Notice both answers equal 304,000,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 304,000,333 and divide it by 2:
304,000,333 ÷ 2 = 152,000,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 152,000,166.5 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 | 304,000,333 | |
| -1 | -304,000,333 |
Now, we try dividing 304,000,333 by 3:
304,000,333 ÷ 3 = 101,333,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,333,444.3333 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 | 304,000,333 | |
| -1 | -304,000,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
304,000,333 ÷ 4 = 76,000,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 76,000,083.25 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 | 304,000,333 | |
| -1 | 304,000,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 443 | 3,101 | 5,759 | 7,541 | 40,313 | 52,787 | 98,033 | 686,231 | 3,340,663 | 23,384,641 | 43,428,619 | 304,000,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -443 | -3,101 | -5,759 | -7,541 | -40,313 | -52,787 | -98,033 | -686,231 | -3,340,663 | -23,384,641 | -43,428,619 | -304,000,333 |
