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 442,303,435, 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 | 442,303,435 | |
| -1 | -442,303,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 442,303,435.
Example:
1 x 442,303,435 = 442,303,435
and
-1 x -442,303,435 = 442,303,435
Notice both answers equal 442,303,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 442,303,435 and divide it by 2:
442,303,435 ÷ 2 = 221,151,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,151,717.5 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 | 442,303,435 | |
| -1 | -442,303,435 |
Now, we try dividing 442,303,435 by 3:
442,303,435 ÷ 3 = 147,434,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,434,478.3333 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 | 442,303,435 | |
| -1 | -442,303,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
442,303,435 ÷ 4 = 110,575,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,575,858.75 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 | 442,303,435 | |
| -1 | 442,303,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 3,527 | 3,583 | 17,635 | 17,915 | 24,689 | 25,081 | 123,445 | 125,405 | 12,637,241 | 63,186,205 | 88,460,687 | 442,303,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -3,527 | -3,583 | -17,635 | -17,915 | -24,689 | -25,081 | -123,445 | -125,405 | -12,637,241 | -63,186,205 | -88,460,687 | -442,303,435 |
