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 443,013,241, 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 | 443,013,241 | |
| -1 | -443,013,241 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 443,013,241.
Example:
1 x 443,013,241 = 443,013,241
and
-1 x -443,013,241 = 443,013,241
Notice both answers equal 443,013,241
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 443,013,241 and divide it by 2:
443,013,241 ÷ 2 = 221,506,620.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,506,620.5 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 | 443,013,241 | |
| -1 | -443,013,241 |
Now, we try dividing 443,013,241 by 3:
443,013,241 ÷ 3 = 147,671,080.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,671,080.3333 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 | 443,013,241 | |
| -1 | -443,013,241 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
443,013,241 ÷ 4 = 110,753,310.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,753,310.25 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 | 443,013,241 | |
| -1 | 443,013,241 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 59 | 451 | 649 | 2,419 | 16,649 | 26,609 | 183,139 | 682,609 | 982,291 | 7,508,699 | 10,805,201 | 40,273,931 | 443,013,241 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -59 | -451 | -649 | -2,419 | -16,649 | -26,609 | -183,139 | -682,609 | -982,291 | -7,508,699 | -10,805,201 | -40,273,931 | -443,013,241 |
