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 333,663,403, 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 | 333,663,403 | |
| -1 | -333,663,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,663,403.
Example:
1 x 333,663,403 = 333,663,403
and
-1 x -333,663,403 = 333,663,403
Notice both answers equal 333,663,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,663,403 and divide it by 2:
333,663,403 ÷ 2 = 166,831,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,831,701.5 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 | 333,663,403 | |
| -1 | -333,663,403 |
Now, we try dividing 333,663,403 by 3:
333,663,403 ÷ 3 = 111,221,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,221,134.3333 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 | 333,663,403 | |
| -1 | -333,663,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,663,403 ÷ 4 = 83,415,850.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,415,850.75 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 | 333,663,403 | |
| -1 | 333,663,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 83 | 89 | 1,411 | 1,513 | 2,657 | 7,387 | 45,169 | 125,579 | 220,531 | 236,473 | 3,749,027 | 4,020,041 | 19,627,259 | 333,663,403 |
| -1 | -17 | -83 | -89 | -1,411 | -1,513 | -2,657 | -7,387 | -45,169 | -125,579 | -220,531 | -236,473 | -3,749,027 | -4,020,041 | -19,627,259 | -333,663,403 |
