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 333,255,223, 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 | 333,255,223 | |
| -1 | -333,255,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,255,223.
Example:
1 x 333,255,223 = 333,255,223
and
-1 x -333,255,223 = 333,255,223
Notice both answers equal 333,255,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,255,223 and divide it by 2:
333,255,223 ÷ 2 = 166,627,611.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,627,611.5 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 | 333,255,223 | |
| -1 | -333,255,223 |
Now, we try dividing 333,255,223 by 3:
333,255,223 ÷ 3 = 111,085,074.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,085,074.3333 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 | 333,255,223 | |
| -1 | -333,255,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,255,223 ÷ 4 = 83,313,805.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,313,805.75 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 | 333,255,223 | |
| -1 | 333,255,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 131 | 193 | 269 | 917 | 1,351 | 1,883 | 6,419 | 9,457 | 13,181 | 25,283 | 35,239 | 51,917 | 176,981 | 246,673 | 363,419 | 1,238,867 | 1,726,711 | 2,543,933 | 6,801,127 | 47,607,889 | 333,255,223 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -131 | -193 | -269 | -917 | -1,351 | -1,883 | -6,419 | -9,457 | -13,181 | -25,283 | -35,239 | -51,917 | -176,981 | -246,673 | -363,419 | -1,238,867 | -1,726,711 | -2,543,933 | -6,801,127 | -47,607,889 | -333,255,223 |
