How do I find the factor combinations of the number 441,023,413?

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 441,023,413, 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.

1 441,023,413
-1 -441,023,413

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 441,023,413.

Example:
1 x 441,023,413 = 441,023,413
and
-1 x -441,023,413 = 441,023,413
Notice both answers equal 441,023,413

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 441,023,413 and divide it by 2:

441,023,413 ÷ 2 = 220,511,706.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 220,511,706.5 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:

1 441,023,413
-1 -441,023,413

Now, we try dividing 441,023,413 by 3:

441,023,413 ÷ 3 = 147,007,804.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,007,804.3333 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:

1 441,023,413
-1 -441,023,413

Let's try dividing by 4:

441,023,413 ÷ 4 = 110,255,853.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,255,853.25 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:

1 441,023,413
-1 441,023,413
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

123671371,5412,0893,1519,17948,047139,963211,117286,1933,219,1496,582,43919,174,931441,023,413
