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 444,120,299, 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 | 444,120,299 | |
| -1 | -444,120,299 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,120,299.
Example:
1 x 444,120,299 = 444,120,299
and
-1 x -444,120,299 = 444,120,299
Notice both answers equal 444,120,299
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,120,299 and divide it by 2:
444,120,299 ÷ 2 = 222,060,149.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,060,149.5 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 | 444,120,299 | |
| -1 | -444,120,299 |
Now, we try dividing 444,120,299 by 3:
444,120,299 ÷ 3 = 148,040,099.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,040,099.6667 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 | 444,120,299 | |
| -1 | -444,120,299 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
444,120,299 ÷ 4 = 111,030,074.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,030,074.75 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 | 444,120,299 | |
| -1 | 444,120,299 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 107 | 349 | 749 | 1,699 | 2,443 | 11,893 | 37,343 | 181,793 | 261,401 | 592,951 | 1,272,551 | 4,150,657 | 63,445,757 | 444,120,299 |
| -1 | -7 | -107 | -349 | -749 | -1,699 | -2,443 | -11,893 | -37,343 | -181,793 | -261,401 | -592,951 | -1,272,551 | -4,150,657 | -63,445,757 | -444,120,299 |
