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 433,250,653, 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 | 433,250,653 | |
| -1 | -433,250,653 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 433,250,653.
Example:
1 x 433,250,653 = 433,250,653
and
-1 x -433,250,653 = 433,250,653
Notice both answers equal 433,250,653
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 433,250,653 and divide it by 2:
433,250,653 ÷ 2 = 216,625,326.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,625,326.5 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 | 433,250,653 | |
| -1 | -433,250,653 |
Now, we try dividing 433,250,653 by 3:
433,250,653 ÷ 3 = 144,416,884.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,416,884.3333 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 | 433,250,653 | |
| -1 | -433,250,653 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
433,250,653 ÷ 4 = 108,312,663.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,312,663.25 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 | 433,250,653 | |
| -1 | 433,250,653 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 47 | 517 | 541 | 1,549 | 5,951 | 17,039 | 25,427 | 72,803 | 279,697 | 800,833 | 838,009 | 9,218,099 | 39,386,423 | 433,250,653 |
| -1 | -11 | -47 | -517 | -541 | -1,549 | -5,951 | -17,039 | -25,427 | -72,803 | -279,697 | -800,833 | -838,009 | -9,218,099 | -39,386,423 | -433,250,653 |
