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 443,524,211, 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 | 443,524,211 | |
| -1 | -443,524,211 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 443,524,211.
Example:
1 x 443,524,211 = 443,524,211
and
-1 x -443,524,211 = 443,524,211
Notice both answers equal 443,524,211
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 443,524,211 and divide it by 2:
443,524,211 ÷ 2 = 221,762,105.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 221,762,105.5 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 | 443,524,211 | |
| -1 | -443,524,211 |
Now, we try dividing 443,524,211 by 3:
443,524,211 ÷ 3 = 147,841,403.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 147,841,403.6667 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 | 443,524,211 | |
| -1 | -443,524,211 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
443,524,211 ÷ 4 = 110,881,052.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 110,881,052.75 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 | 443,524,211 | |
| -1 | 443,524,211 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 131 | 137 | 1,703 | 1,781 | 1,901 | 17,947 | 24,713 | 233,311 | 249,031 | 260,437 | 3,237,403 | 3,385,681 | 34,117,247 | 443,524,211 |
| -1 | -13 | -131 | -137 | -1,703 | -1,781 | -1,901 | -17,947 | -24,713 | -233,311 | -249,031 | -260,437 | -3,237,403 | -3,385,681 | -34,117,247 | -443,524,211 |
