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 404,162,437, 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 | 404,162,437 | |
| -1 | -404,162,437 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 404,162,437.
Example:
1 x 404,162,437 = 404,162,437
and
-1 x -404,162,437 = 404,162,437
Notice both answers equal 404,162,437
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 404,162,437 and divide it by 2:
404,162,437 ÷ 2 = 202,081,218.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 202,081,218.5 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 | 404,162,437 | |
| -1 | -404,162,437 |
Now, we try dividing 404,162,437 by 3:
404,162,437 ÷ 3 = 134,720,812.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 134,720,812.3333 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 | 404,162,437 | |
| -1 | -404,162,437 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
404,162,437 ÷ 4 = 101,040,609.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 101,040,609.25 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 | 404,162,437 | |
| -1 | 404,162,437 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 119 | 547 | 833 | 887 | 3,829 | 6,209 | 9,299 | 15,079 | 26,803 | 43,463 | 65,093 | 105,553 | 455,651 | 485,189 | 738,871 | 3,396,323 | 8,248,213 | 23,774,261 | 57,737,491 | 404,162,437 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -119 | -547 | -833 | -887 | -3,829 | -6,209 | -9,299 | -15,079 | -26,803 | -43,463 | -65,093 | -105,553 | -455,651 | -485,189 | -738,871 | -3,396,323 | -8,248,213 | -23,774,261 | -57,737,491 | -404,162,437 |
