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 424,332,209, 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 | 424,332,209 | |
| -1 | -424,332,209 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 424,332,209.
Example:
1 x 424,332,209 = 424,332,209
and
-1 x -424,332,209 = 424,332,209
Notice both answers equal 424,332,209
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 424,332,209 and divide it by 2:
424,332,209 ÷ 2 = 212,166,104.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 212,166,104.5 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 | 424,332,209 | |
| -1 | -424,332,209 |
Now, we try dividing 424,332,209 by 3:
424,332,209 ÷ 3 = 141,444,069.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,444,069.6667 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 | 424,332,209 | |
| -1 | -424,332,209 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
424,332,209 ÷ 4 = 106,083,052.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,083,052.25 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 | 424,332,209 | |
| -1 | 424,332,209 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 101 | 179 | 479 | 707 | 1,253 | 3,353 | 4,949 | 8,771 | 18,079 | 23,471 | 48,379 | 85,741 | 126,553 | 338,653 | 600,187 | 885,871 | 2,370,571 | 4,201,309 | 8,659,841 | 60,618,887 | 424,332,209 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -101 | -179 | -479 | -707 | -1,253 | -3,353 | -4,949 | -8,771 | -18,079 | -23,471 | -48,379 | -85,741 | -126,553 | -338,653 | -600,187 | -885,871 | -2,370,571 | -4,201,309 | -8,659,841 | -60,618,887 | -424,332,209 |
