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 443,151,257, 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 | 443,151,257 | |
| -1 | -443,151,257 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 443,151,257.
Example:
1 x 443,151,257 = 443,151,257
and
-1 x -443,151,257 = 443,151,257
Notice both answers equal 443,151,257
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 443,151,257 and divide it by 2:
443,151,257 ÷ 2 = 221,575,628.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,575,628.5 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 | 443,151,257 | |
| -1 | -443,151,257 |
Now, we try dividing 443,151,257 by 3:
443,151,257 ÷ 3 = 147,717,085.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,717,085.6667 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 | 443,151,257 | |
| -1 | -443,151,257 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
443,151,257 ÷ 4 = 110,787,814.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,787,814.25 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 | 443,151,257 | |
| -1 | 443,151,257 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 37 | 71 | 629 | 1,207 | 2,627 | 9,923 | 44,659 | 168,691 | 367,151 | 704,533 | 6,241,567 | 11,977,061 | 26,067,721 | 443,151,257 |
| -1 | -17 | -37 | -71 | -629 | -1,207 | -2,627 | -9,923 | -44,659 | -168,691 | -367,151 | -704,533 | -6,241,567 | -11,977,061 | -26,067,721 | -443,151,257 |
