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 446,106,739, 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 | 446,106,739 | |
| -1 | -446,106,739 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 446,106,739.
Example:
1 x 446,106,739 = 446,106,739
and
-1 x -446,106,739 = 446,106,739
Notice both answers equal 446,106,739
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 446,106,739 and divide it by 2:
446,106,739 ÷ 2 = 223,053,369.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 223,053,369.5 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 | 446,106,739 | |
| -1 | -446,106,739 |
Now, we try dividing 446,106,739 by 3:
446,106,739 ÷ 3 = 148,702,246.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,702,246.3333 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 | 446,106,739 | |
| -1 | -446,106,739 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
446,106,739 ÷ 4 = 111,526,684.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,526,684.75 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 | 446,106,739 | |
| -1 | 446,106,739 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 139 | 377 | 1,807 | 4,031 | 8,513 | 52,403 | 110,669 | 246,877 | 1,183,307 | 3,209,401 | 15,382,991 | 34,315,903 | 446,106,739 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -139 | -377 | -1,807 | -4,031 | -8,513 | -52,403 | -110,669 | -246,877 | -1,183,307 | -3,209,401 | -15,382,991 | -34,315,903 | -446,106,739 |
