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 432,443,335, 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 | 432,443,335 | |
| -1 | -432,443,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 432,443,335.
Example:
1 x 432,443,335 = 432,443,335
and
-1 x -432,443,335 = 432,443,335
Notice both answers equal 432,443,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 432,443,335 and divide it by 2:
432,443,335 ÷ 2 = 216,221,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,221,667.5 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 | 432,443,335 | |
| -1 | -432,443,335 |
Now, we try dividing 432,443,335 by 3:
432,443,335 ÷ 3 = 144,147,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,147,778.3333 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 | 432,443,335 | |
| -1 | -432,443,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
432,443,335 ÷ 4 = 108,110,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,110,833.75 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 | 432,443,335 | |
| -1 | 432,443,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 61 | 155 | 305 | 1,891 | 9,455 | 45,737 | 228,685 | 1,417,847 | 2,789,957 | 7,089,235 | 13,949,785 | 86,488,667 | 432,443,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -61 | -155 | -305 | -1,891 | -9,455 | -45,737 | -228,685 | -1,417,847 | -2,789,957 | -7,089,235 | -13,949,785 | -86,488,667 | -432,443,335 |
