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 333,200,029, 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 | 333,200,029 | |
| -1 | -333,200,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,200,029.
Example:
1 x 333,200,029 = 333,200,029
and
-1 x -333,200,029 = 333,200,029
Notice both answers equal 333,200,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,200,029 and divide it by 2:
333,200,029 ÷ 2 = 166,600,014.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,600,014.5 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 | 333,200,029 | |
| -1 | -333,200,029 |
Now, we try dividing 333,200,029 by 3:
333,200,029 ÷ 3 = 111,066,676.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,066,676.3333 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 | 333,200,029 | |
| -1 | -333,200,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,200,029 ÷ 4 = 83,300,007.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,300,007.25 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 | 333,200,029 | |
| -1 | 333,200,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 53 | 109 | 137 | 421 | 5,777 | 7,261 | 14,933 | 22,313 | 45,889 | 57,677 | 791,449 | 2,432,117 | 3,056,881 | 6,286,793 | 333,200,029 |
| -1 | -53 | -109 | -137 | -421 | -5,777 | -7,261 | -14,933 | -22,313 | -45,889 | -57,677 | -791,449 | -2,432,117 | -3,056,881 | -6,286,793 | -333,200,029 |
