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 444,244,415, 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 | 444,244,415 | |
| -1 | -444,244,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,244,415.
Example:
1 x 444,244,415 = 444,244,415
and
-1 x -444,244,415 = 444,244,415
Notice both answers equal 444,244,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,244,415 and divide it by 2:
444,244,415 ÷ 2 = 222,122,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,122,207.5 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 | 444,244,415 | |
| -1 | -444,244,415 |
Now, we try dividing 444,244,415 by 3:
444,244,415 ÷ 3 = 148,081,471.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,081,471.6667 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 | 444,244,415 | |
| -1 | -444,244,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
444,244,415 ÷ 4 = 111,061,103.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,061,103.75 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 | 444,244,415 | |
| -1 | 444,244,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 2,945 | 150,847 | 754,235 | 2,866,093 | 4,676,257 | 14,330,465 | 23,381,285 | 88,848,883 | 444,244,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -2,945 | -150,847 | -754,235 | -2,866,093 | -4,676,257 | -14,330,465 | -23,381,285 | -88,848,883 | -444,244,415 |
