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 442,000,433, 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 | 442,000,433 | |
| -1 | -442,000,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 442,000,433.
Example:
1 x 442,000,433 = 442,000,433
and
-1 x -442,000,433 = 442,000,433
Notice both answers equal 442,000,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 442,000,433 and divide it by 2:
442,000,433 ÷ 2 = 221,000,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,000,216.5 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 | 442,000,433 | |
| -1 | -442,000,433 |
Now, we try dividing 442,000,433 by 3:
442,000,433 ÷ 3 = 147,333,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,333,477.6667 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 | 442,000,433 | |
| -1 | -442,000,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
442,000,433 ÷ 4 = 110,500,108.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,500,108.25 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 | 442,000,433 | |
| -1 | 442,000,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 89 | 343 | 623 | 4,361 | 14,479 | 30,527 | 101,353 | 709,471 | 1,288,631 | 4,966,297 | 9,020,417 | 63,142,919 | 442,000,433 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -89 | -343 | -623 | -4,361 | -14,479 | -30,527 | -101,353 | -709,471 | -1,288,631 | -4,966,297 | -9,020,417 | -63,142,919 | -442,000,433 |
