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 453,030,403, 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 | 453,030,403 | |
| -1 | -453,030,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 453,030,403.
Example:
1 x 453,030,403 = 453,030,403
and
-1 x -453,030,403 = 453,030,403
Notice both answers equal 453,030,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 453,030,403 and divide it by 2:
453,030,403 ÷ 2 = 226,515,201.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 226,515,201.5 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 | 453,030,403 | |
| -1 | -453,030,403 |
Now, we try dividing 453,030,403 by 3:
453,030,403 ÷ 3 = 151,010,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,010,134.3333 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 | 453,030,403 | |
| -1 | -453,030,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
453,030,403 ÷ 4 = 113,257,600.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,257,600.75 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 | 453,030,403 | |
| -1 | 453,030,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 107 | 569 | 749 | 1,063 | 3,983 | 7,441 | 60,883 | 113,741 | 426,181 | 604,847 | 796,187 | 4,233,929 | 64,718,629 | 453,030,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -107 | -569 | -749 | -1,063 | -3,983 | -7,441 | -60,883 | -113,741 | -426,181 | -604,847 | -796,187 | -4,233,929 | -64,718,629 | -453,030,403 |
