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 333,014,513, 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 | 333,014,513 | |
| -1 | -333,014,513 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,014,513.
Example:
1 x 333,014,513 = 333,014,513
and
-1 x -333,014,513 = 333,014,513
Notice both answers equal 333,014,513
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,014,513 and divide it by 2:
333,014,513 ÷ 2 = 166,507,256.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,507,256.5 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 | 333,014,513 | |
| -1 | -333,014,513 |
Now, we try dividing 333,014,513 by 3:
333,014,513 ÷ 3 = 111,004,837.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,004,837.6667 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 | 333,014,513 | |
| -1 | -333,014,513 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,014,513 ÷ 4 = 83,253,628.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,253,628.25 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 | 333,014,513 | |
| -1 | 333,014,513 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 197 | 221 | 2,561 | 3,349 | 7,649 | 43,537 | 99,437 | 130,033 | 1,506,853 | 1,690,429 | 19,589,089 | 25,616,501 | 333,014,513 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -197 | -221 | -2,561 | -3,349 | -7,649 | -43,537 | -99,437 | -130,033 | -1,506,853 | -1,690,429 | -19,589,089 | -25,616,501 | -333,014,513 |
