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 333,004,399, 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 | 333,004,399 | |
| -1 | -333,004,399 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,004,399.
Example:
1 x 333,004,399 = 333,004,399
and
-1 x -333,004,399 = 333,004,399
Notice both answers equal 333,004,399
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,004,399 and divide it by 2:
333,004,399 ÷ 2 = 166,502,199.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,502,199.5 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 | 333,004,399 | |
| -1 | -333,004,399 |
Now, we try dividing 333,004,399 by 3:
333,004,399 ÷ 3 = 111,001,466.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,001,466.3333 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 | 333,004,399 | |
| -1 | -333,004,399 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,004,399 ÷ 4 = 83,251,099.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,251,099.75 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 | 333,004,399 | |
| -1 | 333,004,399 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 1,061 | 3,449 | 7,427 | 13,793 | 24,143 | 44,837 | 96,551 | 313,859 | 3,659,389 | 25,615,723 | 47,572,057 | 333,004,399 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -1,061 | -3,449 | -7,427 | -13,793 | -24,143 | -44,837 | -96,551 | -313,859 | -3,659,389 | -25,615,723 | -47,572,057 | -333,004,399 |
