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 330,106,657, 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 | 330,106,657 | |
| -1 | -330,106,657 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 330,106,657.
Example:
1 x 330,106,657 = 330,106,657
and
-1 x -330,106,657 = 330,106,657
Notice both answers equal 330,106,657
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 330,106,657 and divide it by 2:
330,106,657 ÷ 2 = 165,053,328.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 165,053,328.5 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 | 330,106,657 | |
| -1 | -330,106,657 |
Now, we try dividing 330,106,657 by 3:
330,106,657 ÷ 3 = 110,035,552.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,035,552.3333 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 | 330,106,657 | |
| -1 | -330,106,657 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
330,106,657 ÷ 4 = 82,526,664.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 82,526,664.25 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 | 330,106,657 | |
| -1 | 330,106,657 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 43 | 73 | 103 | 1,021 | 3,139 | 4,429 | 7,519 | 43,903 | 74,533 | 105,163 | 323,317 | 3,204,919 | 4,522,009 | 7,676,899 | 330,106,657 |
| -1 | -43 | -73 | -103 | -1,021 | -3,139 | -4,429 | -7,519 | -43,903 | -74,533 | -105,163 | -323,317 | -3,204,919 | -4,522,009 | -7,676,899 | -330,106,657 |
