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 444,424,649, 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 | 444,424,649 | |
| -1 | -444,424,649 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 444,424,649.
Example:
1 x 444,424,649 = 444,424,649
and
-1 x -444,424,649 = 444,424,649
Notice both answers equal 444,424,649
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 444,424,649 and divide it by 2:
444,424,649 ÷ 2 = 222,212,324.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 222,212,324.5 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 | 444,424,649 | |
| -1 | -444,424,649 |
Now, we try dividing 444,424,649 by 3:
444,424,649 ÷ 3 = 148,141,549.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,141,549.6667 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 | 444,424,649 | |
| -1 | -444,424,649 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
444,424,649 ÷ 4 = 111,106,162.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,106,162.25 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 | 444,424,649 | |
| -1 | 444,424,649 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 37 | 589 | 703 | 1,147 | 20,393 | 21,793 | 387,467 | 632,183 | 754,541 | 12,011,477 | 14,336,279 | 23,390,771 | 444,424,649 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -37 | -589 | -703 | -1,147 | -20,393 | -21,793 | -387,467 | -632,183 | -754,541 | -12,011,477 | -14,336,279 | -23,390,771 | -444,424,649 |
