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 403,420,411, 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 | 403,420,411 | |
| -1 | -403,420,411 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 403,420,411.
Example:
1 x 403,420,411 = 403,420,411
and
-1 x -403,420,411 = 403,420,411
Notice both answers equal 403,420,411
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 403,420,411 and divide it by 2:
403,420,411 ÷ 2 = 201,710,205.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 201,710,205.5 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 | 403,420,411 | |
| -1 | -403,420,411 |
Now, we try dividing 403,420,411 by 3:
403,420,411 ÷ 3 = 134,473,470.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 134,473,470.3333 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 | 403,420,411 | |
| -1 | -403,420,411 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
403,420,411 ÷ 4 = 100,855,102.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 100,855,102.75 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 | 403,420,411 | |
| -1 | 403,420,411 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 47 | 73 | 307 | 383 | 3,431 | 14,429 | 18,001 | 22,411 | 27,959 | 117,581 | 1,053,317 | 1,314,073 | 5,526,307 | 8,583,413 | 403,420,411 |
| -1 | -47 | -73 | -307 | -383 | -3,431 | -14,429 | -18,001 | -22,411 | -27,959 | -117,581 | -1,053,317 | -1,314,073 | -5,526,307 | -8,583,413 | -403,420,411 |
