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 432,133,013, 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 | 432,133,013 | |
| -1 | -432,133,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 432,133,013.
Example:
1 x 432,133,013 = 432,133,013
and
-1 x -432,133,013 = 432,133,013
Notice both answers equal 432,133,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 432,133,013 and divide it by 2:
432,133,013 ÷ 2 = 216,066,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,066,506.5 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 | 432,133,013 | |
| -1 | -432,133,013 |
Now, we try dividing 432,133,013 by 3:
432,133,013 ÷ 3 = 144,044,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,044,337.6667 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 | 432,133,013 | |
| -1 | -432,133,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
432,133,013 ÷ 4 = 108,033,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,033,253.25 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 | 432,133,013 | |
| -1 | 432,133,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 221 | 809 | 2,417 | 10,517 | 13,753 | 31,421 | 41,089 | 178,789 | 534,157 | 1,955,353 | 25,419,589 | 33,241,001 | 432,133,013 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -221 | -809 | -2,417 | -10,517 | -13,753 | -31,421 | -41,089 | -178,789 | -534,157 | -1,955,353 | -25,419,589 | -33,241,001 | -432,133,013 |
