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 333,463,141, 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 | 333,463,141 | |
| -1 | -333,463,141 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,463,141.
Example:
1 x 333,463,141 = 333,463,141
and
-1 x -333,463,141 = 333,463,141
Notice both answers equal 333,463,141
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,463,141 and divide it by 2:
333,463,141 ÷ 2 = 166,731,570.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,731,570.5 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 | 333,463,141 | |
| -1 | -333,463,141 |
Now, we try dividing 333,463,141 by 3:
333,463,141 ÷ 3 = 111,154,380.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,154,380.3333 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 | 333,463,141 | |
| -1 | -333,463,141 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,463,141 ÷ 4 = 83,365,785.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,365,785.25 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 | 333,463,141 | |
| -1 | 333,463,141 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 319 | 491 | 2,129 | 5,401 | 14,239 | 23,419 | 61,741 | 156,629 | 679,151 | 1,045,339 | 11,498,729 | 30,314,831 | 333,463,141 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -319 | -491 | -2,129 | -5,401 | -14,239 | -23,419 | -61,741 | -156,629 | -679,151 | -1,045,339 | -11,498,729 | -30,314,831 | -333,463,141 |
