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 444,040,555, 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 | 444,040,555 | |
| -1 | -444,040,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,040,555.
Example:
1 x 444,040,555 = 444,040,555
and
-1 x -444,040,555 = 444,040,555
Notice both answers equal 444,040,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,040,555 and divide it by 2:
444,040,555 ÷ 2 = 222,020,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,020,277.5 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 | 444,040,555 | |
| -1 | -444,040,555 |
Now, we try dividing 444,040,555 by 3:
444,040,555 ÷ 3 = 148,013,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,013,518.3333 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 | 444,040,555 | |
| -1 | -444,040,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
444,040,555 ÷ 4 = 111,010,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,010,138.75 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 | 444,040,555 | |
| -1 | 444,040,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 2,087 | 6,079 | 10,435 | 14,609 | 30,395 | 42,553 | 73,045 | 212,765 | 12,686,873 | 63,434,365 | 88,808,111 | 444,040,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -2,087 | -6,079 | -10,435 | -14,609 | -30,395 | -42,553 | -73,045 | -212,765 | -12,686,873 | -63,434,365 | -88,808,111 | -444,040,555 |
