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 444,213,305, 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 | 444,213,305 | |
| -1 | -444,213,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,213,305.
Example:
1 x 444,213,305 = 444,213,305
and
-1 x -444,213,305 = 444,213,305
Notice both answers equal 444,213,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,213,305 and divide it by 2:
444,213,305 ÷ 2 = 222,106,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,106,652.5 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 | 444,213,305 | |
| -1 | -444,213,305 |
Now, we try dividing 444,213,305 by 3:
444,213,305 ÷ 3 = 148,071,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,071,101.6667 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 | 444,213,305 | |
| -1 | -444,213,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
444,213,305 ÷ 4 = 111,053,326.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,053,326.25 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 | 444,213,305 | |
| -1 | 444,213,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 163 | 185 | 815 | 6,031 | 14,731 | 30,155 | 73,655 | 545,047 | 2,401,153 | 2,725,235 | 12,005,765 | 88,842,661 | 444,213,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -163 | -185 | -815 | -6,031 | -14,731 | -30,155 | -73,655 | -545,047 | -2,401,153 | -2,725,235 | -12,005,765 | -88,842,661 | -444,213,305 |
