How do I find the factor combinations of the number 444,220,133?

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 444,220,133, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 444,220,133
-1 -444,220,133

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,220,133.

Example:
1 x 444,220,133 = 444,220,133
and
-1 x -444,220,133 = 444,220,133
Notice both answers equal 444,220,133

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,220,133 and divide it by 2:

444,220,133 ÷ 2 = 222,110,066.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,110,066.5 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:

1 444,220,133
-1 -444,220,133

Now, we try dividing 444,220,133 by 3:

444,220,133 ÷ 3 = 148,073,377.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,073,377.6667 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:

1 444,220,133
-1 -444,220,133

Let's try dividing by 4:

444,220,133 ÷ 4 = 111,055,033.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,055,033.25 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:

1 444,220,133
-1 444,220,133
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

171949971336799311,8434,7534,91912,90134,43390,30793,461241,031477,143654,2273,340,0014,579,5899,065,71723,380,00763,460,019444,220,133
