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 433,023,433, 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 | 433,023,433 | |
| -1 | -433,023,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 433,023,433.
Example:
1 x 433,023,433 = 433,023,433
and
-1 x -433,023,433 = 433,023,433
Notice both answers equal 433,023,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 433,023,433 and divide it by 2:
433,023,433 ÷ 2 = 216,511,716.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,511,716.5 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 | 433,023,433 | |
| -1 | -433,023,433 |
Now, we try dividing 433,023,433 by 3:
433,023,433 ÷ 3 = 144,341,144.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,341,144.3333 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 | 433,023,433 | |
| -1 | -433,023,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
433,023,433 ÷ 4 = 108,255,858.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,255,858.25 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 | 433,023,433 | |
| -1 | 433,023,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 103 | 409 | 541 | 1,957 | 7,771 | 10,279 | 42,127 | 55,723 | 221,269 | 800,413 | 1,058,737 | 4,204,111 | 22,790,707 | 433,023,433 |
| -1 | -19 | -103 | -409 | -541 | -1,957 | -7,771 | -10,279 | -42,127 | -55,723 | -221,269 | -800,413 | -1,058,737 | -4,204,111 | -22,790,707 | -433,023,433 |
