How do I find the factor combinations of the number 433,400,201?

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 433,400,201, 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.

1 433,400,201
-1 -433,400,201

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 433,400,201.

Example:
1 x 433,400,201 = 433,400,201
and
-1 x -433,400,201 = 433,400,201
Notice both answers equal 433,400,201

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 433,400,201 and divide it by 2:

433,400,201 ÷ 2 = 216,700,100.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,700,100.5 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:

1 433,400,201
-1 -433,400,201

Now, we try dividing 433,400,201 by 3:

433,400,201 ÷ 3 = 144,466,733.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,466,733.6667 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:

1 433,400,201
-1 -433,400,201

Let's try dividing by 4:

433,400,201 ÷ 4 = 108,350,050.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,350,050.25 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:

1 433,400,201
-1 433,400,201
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

113231912992,4834,3937,58957,10998,657174,5471,449,4992,269,11118,843,48733,338,477433,400,201
