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 441,156,215, 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 | 441,156,215 | |
| -1 | -441,156,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 441,156,215.
Example:
1 x 441,156,215 = 441,156,215
and
-1 x -441,156,215 = 441,156,215
Notice both answers equal 441,156,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 441,156,215 and divide it by 2:
441,156,215 ÷ 2 = 220,578,107.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 220,578,107.5 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 | 441,156,215 | |
| -1 | -441,156,215 |
Now, we try dividing 441,156,215 by 3:
441,156,215 ÷ 3 = 147,052,071.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,052,071.6667 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 | 441,156,215 | |
| -1 | -441,156,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
441,156,215 ÷ 4 = 110,289,053.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,289,053.75 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 | 441,156,215 | |
| -1 | 441,156,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 1,433 | 2,677 | 7,165 | 13,385 | 32,959 | 61,571 | 164,795 | 307,855 | 3,836,141 | 19,180,705 | 88,231,243 | 441,156,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -1,433 | -2,677 | -7,165 | -13,385 | -32,959 | -61,571 | -164,795 | -307,855 | -3,836,141 | -19,180,705 | -88,231,243 | -441,156,215 |
