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 433,373,333, 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 | 433,373,333 | |
| -1 | -433,373,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 433,373,333.
Example:
1 x 433,373,333 = 433,373,333
and
-1 x -433,373,333 = 433,373,333
Notice both answers equal 433,373,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 433,373,333 and divide it by 2:
433,373,333 ÷ 2 = 216,686,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,686,666.5 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 | 433,373,333 | |
| -1 | -433,373,333 |
Now, we try dividing 433,373,333 by 3:
433,373,333 ÷ 3 = 144,457,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,457,777.6667 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 | 433,373,333 | |
| -1 | -433,373,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
433,373,333 ÷ 4 = 108,343,333.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,343,333.25 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 | 433,373,333 | |
| -1 | 433,373,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 73 | 137 | 1,241 | 2,329 | 2,549 | 10,001 | 43,333 | 170,017 | 186,077 | 349,213 | 3,163,309 | 5,936,621 | 25,492,549 | 433,373,333 |
| -1 | -17 | -73 | -137 | -1,241 | -2,329 | -2,549 | -10,001 | -43,333 | -170,017 | -186,077 | -349,213 | -3,163,309 | -5,936,621 | -25,492,549 | -433,373,333 |
