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 434,551,201, 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 | 434,551,201 | |
| -1 | -434,551,201 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 434,551,201.
Example:
1 x 434,551,201 = 434,551,201
and
-1 x -434,551,201 = 434,551,201
Notice both answers equal 434,551,201
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 434,551,201 and divide it by 2:
434,551,201 ÷ 2 = 217,275,600.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 217,275,600.5 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 | 434,551,201 | |
| -1 | -434,551,201 |
Now, we try dividing 434,551,201 by 3:
434,551,201 ÷ 3 = 144,850,400.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,850,400.3333 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 | 434,551,201 | |
| -1 | -434,551,201 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
434,551,201 ÷ 4 = 108,637,800.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,637,800.25 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 | 434,551,201 | |
| -1 | 434,551,201 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 127 | 167 | 889 | 1,169 | 2,927 | 20,489 | 21,209 | 148,463 | 371,729 | 488,809 | 2,602,103 | 3,421,663 | 62,078,743 | 434,551,201 |
| -1 | -7 | -127 | -167 | -889 | -1,169 | -2,927 | -20,489 | -21,209 | -148,463 | -371,729 | -488,809 | -2,602,103 | -3,421,663 | -62,078,743 | -434,551,201 |
