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 300,451,435, 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 | 300,451,435 | |
| -1 | -300,451,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 300,451,435.
Example:
1 x 300,451,435 = 300,451,435
and
-1 x -300,451,435 = 300,451,435
Notice both answers equal 300,451,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 300,451,435 and divide it by 2:
300,451,435 ÷ 2 = 150,225,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,225,717.5 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 | 300,451,435 | |
| -1 | -300,451,435 |
Now, we try dividing 300,451,435 by 3:
300,451,435 ÷ 3 = 100,150,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,150,478.3333 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 | 300,451,435 | |
| -1 | -300,451,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
300,451,435 ÷ 4 = 75,112,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,112,858.75 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 | 300,451,435 | |
| -1 | 300,451,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 229 | 265 | 1,145 | 4,951 | 12,137 | 24,755 | 60,685 | 262,403 | 1,133,779 | 1,312,015 | 5,668,895 | 60,090,287 | 300,451,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -229 | -265 | -1,145 | -4,951 | -12,137 | -24,755 | -60,685 | -262,403 | -1,133,779 | -1,312,015 | -5,668,895 | -60,090,287 | -300,451,435 |
