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 434,002,105, 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 | 434,002,105 | |
| -1 | -434,002,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 434,002,105.
Example:
1 x 434,002,105 = 434,002,105
and
-1 x -434,002,105 = 434,002,105
Notice both answers equal 434,002,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 434,002,105 and divide it by 2:
434,002,105 ÷ 2 = 217,001,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 217,001,052.5 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 | 434,002,105 | |
| -1 | -434,002,105 |
Now, we try dividing 434,002,105 by 3:
434,002,105 ÷ 3 = 144,667,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,667,368.3333 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 | 434,002,105 | |
| -1 | -434,002,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
434,002,105 ÷ 4 = 108,500,526.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,500,526.25 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 | 434,002,105 | |
| -1 | 434,002,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 167 | 683 | 761 | 835 | 3,415 | 3,805 | 114,061 | 127,087 | 519,763 | 570,305 | 635,435 | 2,598,815 | 86,800,421 | 434,002,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -167 | -683 | -761 | -835 | -3,415 | -3,805 | -114,061 | -127,087 | -519,763 | -570,305 | -635,435 | -2,598,815 | -86,800,421 | -434,002,105 |
