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 330,331,301, 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 | 330,331,301 | |
| -1 | -330,331,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 330,331,301.
Example:
1 x 330,331,301 = 330,331,301
and
-1 x -330,331,301 = 330,331,301
Notice both answers equal 330,331,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 330,331,301 and divide it by 2:
330,331,301 ÷ 2 = 165,165,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 165,165,650.5 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 | 330,331,301 | |
| -1 | -330,331,301 |
Now, we try dividing 330,331,301 by 3:
330,331,301 ÷ 3 = 110,110,433.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,110,433.6667 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 | 330,331,301 | |
| -1 | -330,331,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
330,331,301 ÷ 4 = 82,582,825.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 82,582,825.25 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 | 330,331,301 | |
| -1 | 330,331,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 37 | 41 | 629 | 697 | 1,517 | 12,809 | 25,789 | 217,753 | 473,933 | 525,169 | 8,056,861 | 8,927,873 | 19,431,253 | 330,331,301 |
| -1 | -17 | -37 | -41 | -629 | -697 | -1,517 | -12,809 | -25,789 | -217,753 | -473,933 | -525,169 | -8,056,861 | -8,927,873 | -19,431,253 | -330,331,301 |
