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 433,101,145, 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 | 433,101,145 | |
| -1 | -433,101,145 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 433,101,145.
Example:
1 x 433,101,145 = 433,101,145
and
-1 x -433,101,145 = 433,101,145
Notice both answers equal 433,101,145
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 433,101,145 and divide it by 2:
433,101,145 ÷ 2 = 216,550,572.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,550,572.5 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 | 433,101,145 | |
| -1 | -433,101,145 |
Now, we try dividing 433,101,145 by 3:
433,101,145 ÷ 3 = 144,367,048.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,367,048.3333 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 | 433,101,145 | |
| -1 | -433,101,145 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
433,101,145 ÷ 4 = 108,275,286.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,275,286.25 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 | 433,101,145 | |
| -1 | 433,101,145 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 89 | 109 | 445 | 545 | 8,929 | 9,701 | 44,645 | 48,505 | 794,681 | 973,261 | 3,973,405 | 4,866,305 | 86,620,229 | 433,101,145 |
| -1 | -5 | -89 | -109 | -445 | -545 | -8,929 | -9,701 | -44,645 | -48,505 | -794,681 | -973,261 | -3,973,405 | -4,866,305 | -86,620,229 | -433,101,145 |
