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 444,000,545, 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 | 444,000,545 | |
| -1 | -444,000,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,000,545.
Example:
1 x 444,000,545 = 444,000,545
and
-1 x -444,000,545 = 444,000,545
Notice both answers equal 444,000,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,000,545 and divide it by 2:
444,000,545 ÷ 2 = 222,000,272.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,000,272.5 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 | 444,000,545 | |
| -1 | -444,000,545 |
Now, we try dividing 444,000,545 by 3:
444,000,545 ÷ 3 = 148,000,181.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,000,181.6667 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 | 444,000,545 | |
| -1 | -444,000,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
444,000,545 ÷ 4 = 111,000,136.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,000,136.25 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 | 444,000,545 | |
| -1 | 444,000,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 263 | 505 | 1,315 | 3,343 | 16,715 | 26,563 | 132,815 | 337,643 | 879,209 | 1,688,215 | 4,396,045 | 88,800,109 | 444,000,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -263 | -505 | -1,315 | -3,343 | -16,715 | -26,563 | -132,815 | -337,643 | -879,209 | -1,688,215 | -4,396,045 | -88,800,109 | -444,000,545 |
