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 441,741,673, 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 | 441,741,673 | |
| -1 | -441,741,673 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 441,741,673.
Example:
1 x 441,741,673 = 441,741,673
and
-1 x -441,741,673 = 441,741,673
Notice both answers equal 441,741,673
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 441,741,673 and divide it by 2:
441,741,673 ÷ 2 = 220,870,836.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 220,870,836.5 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 | 441,741,673 | |
| -1 | -441,741,673 |
Now, we try dividing 441,741,673 by 3:
441,741,673 ÷ 3 = 147,247,224.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,247,224.3333 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 | 441,741,673 | |
| -1 | -441,741,673 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
441,741,673 ÷ 4 = 110,435,418.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,435,418.25 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 | 441,741,673 | |
| -1 | 441,741,673 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 47 | 59 | 241 | 661 | 2,773 | 11,327 | 14,219 | 31,067 | 38,999 | 159,301 | 668,293 | 1,832,953 | 7,487,147 | 9,398,759 | 441,741,673 |
| -1 | -47 | -59 | -241 | -661 | -2,773 | -11,327 | -14,219 | -31,067 | -38,999 | -159,301 | -668,293 | -1,832,953 | -7,487,147 | -9,398,759 | -441,741,673 |
