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 424,504,003, 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 | 424,504,003 | |
| -1 | -424,504,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 424,504,003.
Example:
1 x 424,504,003 = 424,504,003
and
-1 x -424,504,003 = 424,504,003
Notice both answers equal 424,504,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 424,504,003 and divide it by 2:
424,504,003 ÷ 2 = 212,252,001.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 212,252,001.5 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 | 424,504,003 | |
| -1 | -424,504,003 |
Now, we try dividing 424,504,003 by 3:
424,504,003 ÷ 3 = 141,501,334.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 141,501,334.3333 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 | 424,504,003 | |
| -1 | -424,504,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
424,504,003 ÷ 4 = 106,126,000.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,126,000.75 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 | 424,504,003 | |
| -1 | 424,504,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 343 | 539 | 2,401 | 3,773 | 16,073 | 26,411 | 112,511 | 176,803 | 787,577 | 1,237,621 | 5,513,039 | 8,663,347 | 38,591,273 | 60,643,429 | 424,504,003 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -343 | -539 | -2,401 | -3,773 | -16,073 | -26,411 | -112,511 | -176,803 | -787,577 | -1,237,621 | -5,513,039 | -8,663,347 | -38,591,273 | -60,643,429 | -424,504,003 |
