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 333,501,125, 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 | 333,501,125 | |
| -1 | -333,501,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,501,125.
Example:
1 x 333,501,125 = 333,501,125
and
-1 x -333,501,125 = 333,501,125
Notice both answers equal 333,501,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,501,125 and divide it by 2:
333,501,125 ÷ 2 = 166,750,562.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,750,562.5 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 | 333,501,125 | |
| -1 | -333,501,125 |
Now, we try dividing 333,501,125 by 3:
333,501,125 ÷ 3 = 111,167,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,167,041.6667 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 | 333,501,125 | |
| -1 | -333,501,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,501,125 ÷ 4 = 83,375,281.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,375,281.25 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 | 333,501,125 | |
| -1 | 333,501,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 103 | 125 | 515 | 2,575 | 12,875 | 25,903 | 129,515 | 647,575 | 2,668,009 | 3,237,875 | 13,340,045 | 66,700,225 | 333,501,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -103 | -125 | -515 | -2,575 | -12,875 | -25,903 | -129,515 | -647,575 | -2,668,009 | -3,237,875 | -13,340,045 | -66,700,225 | -333,501,125 |
