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 333,282,145, 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 | 333,282,145 | |
| -1 | -333,282,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,282,145.
Example:
1 x 333,282,145 = 333,282,145
and
-1 x -333,282,145 = 333,282,145
Notice both answers equal 333,282,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,282,145 and divide it by 2:
333,282,145 ÷ 2 = 166,641,072.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,641,072.5 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 | 333,282,145 | |
| -1 | -333,282,145 |
Now, we try dividing 333,282,145 by 3:
333,282,145 ÷ 3 = 111,094,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,094,048.3333 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 | 333,282,145 | |
| -1 | -333,282,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,282,145 ÷ 4 = 83,320,536.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,320,536.25 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 | 333,282,145 | |
| -1 | 333,282,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 997 | 4,985 | 6,979 | 9,551 | 34,895 | 47,755 | 66,857 | 334,285 | 9,522,347 | 47,611,735 | 66,656,429 | 333,282,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -997 | -4,985 | -6,979 | -9,551 | -34,895 | -47,755 | -66,857 | -334,285 | -9,522,347 | -47,611,735 | -66,656,429 | -333,282,145 |
