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 605,441,333, 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 | 605,441,333 | |
| -1 | -605,441,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 605,441,333.
Example:
1 x 605,441,333 = 605,441,333
and
-1 x -605,441,333 = 605,441,333
Notice both answers equal 605,441,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 605,441,333 and divide it by 2:
605,441,333 ÷ 2 = 302,720,666.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 302,720,666.5 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 | 605,441,333 | |
| -1 | -605,441,333 |
Now, we try dividing 605,441,333 by 3:
605,441,333 ÷ 3 = 201,813,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 201,813,777.6667 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 | 605,441,333 | |
| -1 | -605,441,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
605,441,333 ÷ 4 = 151,360,333.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,360,333.25 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 | 605,441,333 | |
| -1 | 605,441,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 301 | 709 | 2,837 | 4,963 | 19,859 | 30,487 | 121,991 | 213,409 | 853,937 | 2,011,433 | 14,080,031 | 86,491,619 | 605,441,333 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -301 | -709 | -2,837 | -4,963 | -19,859 | -30,487 | -121,991 | -213,409 | -853,937 | -2,011,433 | -14,080,031 | -86,491,619 | -605,441,333 |
