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 333,710,299, 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 | 333,710,299 | |
| -1 | -333,710,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 333,710,299.
Example:
1 x 333,710,299 = 333,710,299
and
-1 x -333,710,299 = 333,710,299
Notice both answers equal 333,710,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 333,710,299 and divide it by 2:
333,710,299 ÷ 2 = 166,855,149.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,855,149.5 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 | 333,710,299 | |
| -1 | -333,710,299 |
Now, we try dividing 333,710,299 by 3:
333,710,299 ÷ 3 = 111,236,766.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,236,766.3333 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 | 333,710,299 | |
| -1 | -333,710,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
333,710,299 ÷ 4 = 83,427,574.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,427,574.75 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 | 333,710,299 | |
| -1 | 333,710,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 79 | 293 | 1,027 | 1,109 | 3,809 | 14,417 | 23,147 | 87,611 | 300,911 | 324,937 | 1,138,943 | 4,224,181 | 25,670,023 | 333,710,299 |
| -1 | -13 | -79 | -293 | -1,027 | -1,109 | -3,809 | -14,417 | -23,147 | -87,611 | -300,911 | -324,937 | -1,138,943 | -4,224,181 | -25,670,023 | -333,710,299 |
