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 454,432,433, 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 | 454,432,433 | |
| -1 | -454,432,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 454,432,433.
Example:
1 x 454,432,433 = 454,432,433
and
-1 x -454,432,433 = 454,432,433
Notice both answers equal 454,432,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 454,432,433 and divide it by 2:
454,432,433 ÷ 2 = 227,216,216.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 227,216,216.5 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 | 454,432,433 | |
| -1 | -454,432,433 |
Now, we try dividing 454,432,433 by 3:
454,432,433 ÷ 3 = 151,477,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 151,477,477.6667 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 | 454,432,433 | |
| -1 | -454,432,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
454,432,433 ÷ 4 = 113,608,108.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 113,608,108.25 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 | 454,432,433 | |
| -1 | 454,432,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 727 | 5,089 | 6,869 | 9,451 | 48,083 | 66,157 | 89,297 | 625,079 | 4,993,763 | 34,956,341 | 64,918,919 | 454,432,433 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -727 | -5,089 | -6,869 | -9,451 | -48,083 | -66,157 | -89,297 | -625,079 | -4,993,763 | -34,956,341 | -64,918,919 | -454,432,433 |
