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 443,030,557, 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 | 443,030,557 | |
| -1 | -443,030,557 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 443,030,557.
Example:
1 x 443,030,557 = 443,030,557
and
-1 x -443,030,557 = 443,030,557
Notice both answers equal 443,030,557
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 443,030,557 and divide it by 2:
443,030,557 ÷ 2 = 221,515,278.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,515,278.5 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 | 443,030,557 | |
| -1 | -443,030,557 |
Now, we try dividing 443,030,557 by 3:
443,030,557 ÷ 3 = 147,676,852.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,676,852.3333 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 | 443,030,557 | |
| -1 | -443,030,557 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
443,030,557 ÷ 4 = 110,757,639.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,757,639.25 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 | 443,030,557 | |
| -1 | 443,030,557 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 71 | 283 | 1,207 | 1,297 | 4,811 | 20,093 | 22,049 | 92,087 | 341,581 | 367,051 | 1,565,479 | 6,239,867 | 26,060,621 | 443,030,557 |
| -1 | -17 | -71 | -283 | -1,207 | -1,297 | -4,811 | -20,093 | -22,049 | -92,087 | -341,581 | -367,051 | -1,565,479 | -6,239,867 | -26,060,621 | -443,030,557 |
