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 426,306,223, 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 | 426,306,223 | |
| -1 | -426,306,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 426,306,223.
Example:
1 x 426,306,223 = 426,306,223
and
-1 x -426,306,223 = 426,306,223
Notice both answers equal 426,306,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 426,306,223 and divide it by 2:
426,306,223 ÷ 2 = 213,153,111.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 213,153,111.5 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 | 426,306,223 | |
| -1 | -426,306,223 |
Now, we try dividing 426,306,223 by 3:
426,306,223 ÷ 3 = 142,102,074.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 142,102,074.3333 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 | 426,306,223 | |
| -1 | -426,306,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
426,306,223 ÷ 4 = 106,576,555.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 106,576,555.75 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 | 426,306,223 | |
| -1 | 426,306,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 71 | 181 | 497 | 677 | 1,267 | 3,479 | 4,739 | 8,869 | 12,851 | 33,173 | 48,067 | 89,957 | 122,537 | 336,469 | 629,699 | 857,759 | 2,355,283 | 6,004,313 | 8,700,127 | 60,900,889 | 426,306,223 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -71 | -181 | -497 | -677 | -1,267 | -3,479 | -4,739 | -8,869 | -12,851 | -33,173 | -48,067 | -89,957 | -122,537 | -336,469 | -629,699 | -857,759 | -2,355,283 | -6,004,313 | -8,700,127 | -60,900,889 | -426,306,223 |
