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 446,323,205, 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 | 446,323,205 | |
| -1 | -446,323,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 446,323,205.
Example:
1 x 446,323,205 = 446,323,205
and
-1 x -446,323,205 = 446,323,205
Notice both answers equal 446,323,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 446,323,205 and divide it by 2:
446,323,205 ÷ 2 = 223,161,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 223,161,602.5 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 | 446,323,205 | |
| -1 | -446,323,205 |
Now, we try dividing 446,323,205 by 3:
446,323,205 ÷ 3 = 148,774,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 148,774,401.6667 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 | 446,323,205 | |
| -1 | -446,323,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
446,323,205 ÷ 4 = 111,580,801.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,580,801.25 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 | 446,323,205 | |
| -1 | 446,323,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 103 | 515 | 1,957 | 9,785 | 45,613 | 228,065 | 866,647 | 4,333,235 | 4,698,139 | 23,490,695 | 89,264,641 | 446,323,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -103 | -515 | -1,957 | -9,785 | -45,613 | -228,065 | -866,647 | -4,333,235 | -4,698,139 | -23,490,695 | -89,264,641 | -446,323,205 |
