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 423,524,003, 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 | 423,524,003 | |
| -1 | -423,524,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 423,524,003.
Example:
1 x 423,524,003 = 423,524,003
and
-1 x -423,524,003 = 423,524,003
Notice both answers equal 423,524,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 423,524,003 and divide it by 2:
423,524,003 ÷ 2 = 211,762,001.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 211,762,001.5 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 | 423,524,003 | |
| -1 | -423,524,003 |
Now, we try dividing 423,524,003 by 3:
423,524,003 ÷ 3 = 141,174,667.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,174,667.6667 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 | 423,524,003 | |
| -1 | -423,524,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
423,524,003 ÷ 4 = 105,881,000.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 105,881,000.75 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 | 423,524,003 | |
| -1 | 423,524,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 47 | 49 | 133 | 329 | 893 | 931 | 2,303 | 6,251 | 9,679 | 43,757 | 67,753 | 183,901 | 454,913 | 474,271 | 1,287,307 | 3,184,391 | 8,643,347 | 9,011,149 | 22,290,737 | 60,503,429 | 423,524,003 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -47 | -49 | -133 | -329 | -893 | -931 | -2,303 | -6,251 | -9,679 | -43,757 | -67,753 | -183,901 | -454,913 | -474,271 | -1,287,307 | -3,184,391 | -8,643,347 | -9,011,149 | -22,290,737 | -60,503,429 | -423,524,003 |
