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 447,122,023, 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 | 447,122,023 | |
| -1 | -447,122,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 447,122,023.
Example:
1 x 447,122,023 = 447,122,023
and
-1 x -447,122,023 = 447,122,023
Notice both answers equal 447,122,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 447,122,023 and divide it by 2:
447,122,023 ÷ 2 = 223,561,011.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 223,561,011.5 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 | 447,122,023 | |
| -1 | -447,122,023 |
Now, we try dividing 447,122,023 by 3:
447,122,023 ÷ 3 = 149,040,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 149,040,674.3333 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 | 447,122,023 | |
| -1 | -447,122,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
447,122,023 ÷ 4 = 111,780,505.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 111,780,505.75 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 | 447,122,023 | |
| -1 | 447,122,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 151 | 191 | 419 | 5,587 | 7,067 | 15,503 | 28,841 | 63,269 | 80,029 | 1,067,117 | 2,340,953 | 2,961,073 | 12,084,379 | 447,122,023 |
| -1 | -37 | -151 | -191 | -419 | -5,587 | -7,067 | -15,503 | -28,841 | -63,269 | -80,029 | -1,067,117 | -2,340,953 | -2,961,073 | -12,084,379 | -447,122,023 |
