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 411,103,843, 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 | 411,103,843 | |
| -1 | -411,103,843 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 411,103,843.
Example:
1 x 411,103,843 = 411,103,843
and
-1 x -411,103,843 = 411,103,843
Notice both answers equal 411,103,843
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 411,103,843 and divide it by 2:
411,103,843 ÷ 2 = 205,551,921.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 205,551,921.5 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 | 411,103,843 | |
| -1 | -411,103,843 |
Now, we try dividing 411,103,843 by 3:
411,103,843 ÷ 3 = 137,034,614.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,034,614.3333 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 | 411,103,843 | |
| -1 | -411,103,843 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
411,103,843 ÷ 4 = 102,775,960.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 102,775,960.75 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 | 411,103,843 | |
| -1 | 411,103,843 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 41 | 281 | 697 | 2,099 | 4,777 | 11,521 | 35,683 | 86,059 | 195,857 | 589,819 | 1,463,003 | 10,026,923 | 24,182,579 | 411,103,843 |
| -1 | -17 | -41 | -281 | -697 | -2,099 | -4,777 | -11,521 | -35,683 | -86,059 | -195,857 | -589,819 | -1,463,003 | -10,026,923 | -24,182,579 | -411,103,843 |
