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 413,424,403, 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 | 413,424,403 | |
| -1 | -413,424,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 413,424,403.
Example:
1 x 413,424,403 = 413,424,403
and
-1 x -413,424,403 = 413,424,403
Notice both answers equal 413,424,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 413,424,403 and divide it by 2:
413,424,403 ÷ 2 = 206,712,201.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 206,712,201.5 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 | 413,424,403 | |
| -1 | -413,424,403 |
Now, we try dividing 413,424,403 by 3:
413,424,403 ÷ 3 = 137,808,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 137,808,134.3333 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 | 413,424,403 | |
| -1 | -413,424,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
413,424,403 ÷ 4 = 103,356,100.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 103,356,100.75 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 | 413,424,403 | |
| -1 | 413,424,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 301 | 1,163 | 1,181 | 8,141 | 8,267 | 50,009 | 50,783 | 350,063 | 355,481 | 1,373,503 | 9,614,521 | 59,060,629 | 413,424,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -301 | -1,163 | -1,181 | -8,141 | -8,267 | -50,009 | -50,783 | -350,063 | -355,481 | -1,373,503 | -9,614,521 | -59,060,629 | -413,424,403 |
