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 440,014,009, 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 | 440,014,009 | |
| -1 | -440,014,009 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 440,014,009.
Example:
1 x 440,014,009 = 440,014,009
and
-1 x -440,014,009 = 440,014,009
Notice both answers equal 440,014,009
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 440,014,009 and divide it by 2:
440,014,009 ÷ 2 = 220,007,004.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 220,007,004.5 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 | 440,014,009 | |
| -1 | -440,014,009 |
Now, we try dividing 440,014,009 by 3:
440,014,009 ÷ 3 = 146,671,336.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 146,671,336.3333 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 | 440,014,009 | |
| -1 | -440,014,009 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
440,014,009 ÷ 4 = 110,003,502.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,003,502.25 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 | 440,014,009 | |
| -1 | 440,014,009 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 41 | 157 | 697 | 2,669 | 4,021 | 6,437 | 68,357 | 109,429 | 164,861 | 631,297 | 2,802,637 | 10,732,049 | 25,883,177 | 440,014,009 |
| -1 | -17 | -41 | -157 | -697 | -2,669 | -4,021 | -6,437 | -68,357 | -109,429 | -164,861 | -631,297 | -2,802,637 | -10,732,049 | -25,883,177 | -440,014,009 |
