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 333,342,443, 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 | 333,342,443 | |
| -1 | -333,342,443 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,342,443.
Example:
1 x 333,342,443 = 333,342,443
and
-1 x -333,342,443 = 333,342,443
Notice both answers equal 333,342,443
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,342,443 and divide it by 2:
333,342,443 ÷ 2 = 166,671,221.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,671,221.5 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 | 333,342,443 | |
| -1 | -333,342,443 |
Now, we try dividing 333,342,443 by 3:
333,342,443 ÷ 3 = 111,114,147.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,114,147.6667 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 | 333,342,443 | |
| -1 | -333,342,443 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,342,443 ÷ 4 = 83,335,610.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,335,610.75 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 | 333,342,443 | |
| -1 | 333,342,443 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 29 | 49 | 119 | 203 | 493 | 833 | 1,421 | 3,451 | 13,799 | 24,157 | 96,593 | 234,583 | 400,171 | 676,151 | 1,642,081 | 2,801,197 | 6,802,907 | 11,494,567 | 19,608,379 | 47,620,349 | 333,342,443 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -29 | -49 | -119 | -203 | -493 | -833 | -1,421 | -3,451 | -13,799 | -24,157 | -96,593 | -234,583 | -400,171 | -676,151 | -1,642,081 | -2,801,197 | -6,802,907 | -11,494,567 | -19,608,379 | -47,620,349 | -333,342,443 |
