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 334,441,445, 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 | 334,441,445 | |
| -1 | -334,441,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,441,445.
Example:
1 x 334,441,445 = 334,441,445
and
-1 x -334,441,445 = 334,441,445
Notice both answers equal 334,441,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,441,445 and divide it by 2:
334,441,445 ÷ 2 = 167,220,722.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,220,722.5 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 | 334,441,445 | |
| -1 | -334,441,445 |
Now, we try dividing 334,441,445 by 3:
334,441,445 ÷ 3 = 111,480,481.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,480,481.6667 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 | 334,441,445 | |
| -1 | -334,441,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,441,445 ÷ 4 = 83,610,361.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,610,361.25 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 | 334,441,445 | |
| -1 | 334,441,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 83 | 415 | 1,079 | 5,395 | 61,991 | 309,955 | 805,883 | 4,029,415 | 5,145,253 | 25,726,265 | 66,888,289 | 334,441,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -83 | -415 | -1,079 | -5,395 | -61,991 | -309,955 | -805,883 | -4,029,415 | -5,145,253 | -25,726,265 | -66,888,289 | -334,441,445 |
