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 403,030,451, 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 | 403,030,451 | |
| -1 | -403,030,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 403,030,451.
Example:
1 x 403,030,451 = 403,030,451
and
-1 x -403,030,451 = 403,030,451
Notice both answers equal 403,030,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 403,030,451 and divide it by 2:
403,030,451 ÷ 2 = 201,515,225.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 201,515,225.5 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 | 403,030,451 | |
| -1 | -403,030,451 |
Now, we try dividing 403,030,451 by 3:
403,030,451 ÷ 3 = 134,343,483.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 134,343,483.6667 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 | 403,030,451 | |
| -1 | -403,030,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
403,030,451 ÷ 4 = 100,757,612.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 100,757,612.75 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 | 403,030,451 | |
| -1 | 403,030,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 41 | 103 | 779 | 1,957 | 4,223 | 5,023 | 80,237 | 95,437 | 205,943 | 517,369 | 3,912,917 | 9,830,011 | 21,212,129 | 403,030,451 |
| -1 | -19 | -41 | -103 | -779 | -1,957 | -4,223 | -5,023 | -80,237 | -95,437 | -205,943 | -517,369 | -3,912,917 | -9,830,011 | -21,212,129 | -403,030,451 |
