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 333,134,315, 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 | 333,134,315 | |
| -1 | -333,134,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,134,315.
Example:
1 x 333,134,315 = 333,134,315
and
-1 x -333,134,315 = 333,134,315
Notice both answers equal 333,134,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,134,315 and divide it by 2:
333,134,315 ÷ 2 = 166,567,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,567,157.5 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 | 333,134,315 | |
| -1 | -333,134,315 |
Now, we try dividing 333,134,315 by 3:
333,134,315 ÷ 3 = 111,044,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,044,771.6667 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 | 333,134,315 | |
| -1 | -333,134,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,134,315 ÷ 4 = 83,283,578.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,283,578.75 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 | 333,134,315 | |
| -1 | 333,134,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 229 | 1,145 | 4,351 | 15,313 | 21,755 | 76,565 | 290,947 | 1,454,735 | 3,506,677 | 17,533,385 | 66,626,863 | 333,134,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -229 | -1,145 | -4,351 | -15,313 | -21,755 | -76,565 | -290,947 | -1,454,735 | -3,506,677 | -17,533,385 | -66,626,863 | -333,134,315 |
