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 606,332,233, 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 | 606,332,233 | |
| -1 | -606,332,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 606,332,233.
Example:
1 x 606,332,233 = 606,332,233
and
-1 x -606,332,233 = 606,332,233
Notice both answers equal 606,332,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 606,332,233 and divide it by 2:
606,332,233 ÷ 2 = 303,166,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 303,166,116.5 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 | 606,332,233 | |
| -1 | -606,332,233 |
Now, we try dividing 606,332,233 by 3:
606,332,233 ÷ 3 = 202,110,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 202,110,744.3333 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 | 606,332,233 | |
| -1 | -606,332,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
606,332,233 ÷ 4 = 151,583,058.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 151,583,058.25 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 | 606,332,233 | |
| -1 | 606,332,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 73 | 299 | 949 | 1,679 | 21,827 | 27,779 | 361,127 | 638,917 | 2,027,867 | 8,305,921 | 26,362,271 | 46,640,941 | 606,332,233 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -73 | -299 | -949 | -1,679 | -21,827 | -27,779 | -361,127 | -638,917 | -2,027,867 | -8,305,921 | -26,362,271 | -46,640,941 | -606,332,233 |
