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 300,444,305, 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 | 300,444,305 | |
| -1 | -300,444,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 300,444,305.
Example:
1 x 300,444,305 = 300,444,305
and
-1 x -300,444,305 = 300,444,305
Notice both answers equal 300,444,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 300,444,305 and divide it by 2:
300,444,305 ÷ 2 = 150,222,152.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,222,152.5 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 | 300,444,305 | |
| -1 | -300,444,305 |
Now, we try dividing 300,444,305 by 3:
300,444,305 ÷ 3 = 100,148,101.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,148,101.6667 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 | 300,444,305 | |
| -1 | -300,444,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
300,444,305 ÷ 4 = 75,111,076.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,111,076.25 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 | 300,444,305 | |
| -1 | 300,444,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 103 | 515 | 721 | 3,605 | 83,341 | 416,705 | 583,387 | 2,916,935 | 8,584,123 | 42,920,615 | 60,088,861 | 300,444,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -103 | -515 | -721 | -3,605 | -83,341 | -416,705 | -583,387 | -2,916,935 | -8,584,123 | -42,920,615 | -60,088,861 | -300,444,305 |
