How do I find the factor combinations of the number 433,011,131?

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 433,011,131, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 433,011,131
-1 -433,011,131

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 433,011,131.

Example:
1 x 433,011,131 = 433,011,131
and
-1 x -433,011,131 = 433,011,131
Notice both answers equal 433,011,131

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 433,011,131 and divide it by 2:

433,011,131 ÷ 2 = 216,505,565.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,505,565.5 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:

1 433,011,131
-1 -433,011,131

Now, we try dividing 433,011,131 by 3:

433,011,131 ÷ 3 = 144,337,043.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,337,043.6667 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:

1 433,011,131
-1 -433,011,131

Let's try dividing by 4:

433,011,131 ÷ 4 = 108,252,782.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,252,782.75 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:

1 433,011,131
-1 433,011,131
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1717311071192175277491,0971,8193,3173,6897,67912,73318,64923,21934,00756,389117,379130,543238,049394,723578,119821,6531,995,4433,638,7494,046,83313,968,10125,471,24361,858,733433,011,131
