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 333,214,133, 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 | 333,214,133 | |
| -1 | -333,214,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,214,133.
Example:
1 x 333,214,133 = 333,214,133
and
-1 x -333,214,133 = 333,214,133
Notice both answers equal 333,214,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,214,133 and divide it by 2:
333,214,133 ÷ 2 = 166,607,066.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,607,066.5 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 | 333,214,133 | |
| -1 | -333,214,133 |
Now, we try dividing 333,214,133 by 3:
333,214,133 ÷ 3 = 111,071,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,071,377.6667 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 | 333,214,133 | |
| -1 | -333,214,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,214,133 ÷ 4 = 83,303,533.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,303,533.25 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 | 333,214,133 | |
| -1 | 333,214,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 713 | 4,991 | 66,763 | 467,341 | 1,535,549 | 2,069,653 | 10,748,843 | 14,487,571 | 47,602,019 | 333,214,133 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -713 | -4,991 | -66,763 | -467,341 | -1,535,549 | -2,069,653 | -10,748,843 | -14,487,571 | -47,602,019 | -333,214,133 |
