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 333,254,005, 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 | 333,254,005 | |
| -1 | -333,254,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,254,005.
Example:
1 x 333,254,005 = 333,254,005
and
-1 x -333,254,005 = 333,254,005
Notice both answers equal 333,254,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,254,005 and divide it by 2:
333,254,005 ÷ 2 = 166,627,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,627,002.5 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 | 333,254,005 | |
| -1 | -333,254,005 |
Now, we try dividing 333,254,005 by 3:
333,254,005 ÷ 3 = 111,084,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,084,668.3333 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 | 333,254,005 | |
| -1 | -333,254,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,254,005 ÷ 4 = 83,313,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,313,501.25 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 | 333,254,005 | |
| -1 | 333,254,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 257,339 | 1,286,695 | 1,801,373 | 9,006,865 | 9,521,543 | 47,607,715 | 66,650,801 | 333,254,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -257,339 | -1,286,695 | -1,801,373 | -9,006,865 | -9,521,543 | -47,607,715 | -66,650,801 | -333,254,005 |
