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 333,370,051, 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 | 333,370,051 | |
| -1 | -333,370,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,370,051.
Example:
1 x 333,370,051 = 333,370,051
and
-1 x -333,370,051 = 333,370,051
Notice both answers equal 333,370,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,370,051 and divide it by 2:
333,370,051 ÷ 2 = 166,685,025.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,685,025.5 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 | 333,370,051 | |
| -1 | -333,370,051 |
Now, we try dividing 333,370,051 by 3:
333,370,051 ÷ 3 = 111,123,350.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,123,350.3333 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 | 333,370,051 | |
| -1 | -333,370,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,370,051 ÷ 4 = 83,342,512.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,342,512.75 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 | 333,370,051 | |
| -1 | 333,370,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 29 | 119 | 203 | 493 | 3,451 | 96,601 | 676,207 | 1,642,217 | 2,801,429 | 11,495,519 | 19,610,003 | 47,624,293 | 333,370,051 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -29 | -119 | -203 | -493 | -3,451 | -96,601 | -676,207 | -1,642,217 | -2,801,429 | -11,495,519 | -19,610,003 | -47,624,293 | -333,370,051 |
