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 301,001,195, 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 | 301,001,195 | |
| -1 | -301,001,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 301,001,195.
Example:
1 x 301,001,195 = 301,001,195
and
-1 x -301,001,195 = 301,001,195
Notice both answers equal 301,001,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 301,001,195 and divide it by 2:
301,001,195 ÷ 2 = 150,500,597.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,500,597.5 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 | 301,001,195 | |
| -1 | -301,001,195 |
Now, we try dividing 301,001,195 by 3:
301,001,195 ÷ 3 = 100,333,731.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,333,731.6667 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 | 301,001,195 | |
| -1 | -301,001,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
301,001,195 ÷ 4 = 75,250,298.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,250,298.75 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 | 301,001,195 | |
| -1 | 301,001,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 2,213 | 2,473 | 11,065 | 12,365 | 24,343 | 27,203 | 121,715 | 136,015 | 5,472,749 | 27,363,745 | 60,200,239 | 301,001,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -2,213 | -2,473 | -11,065 | -12,365 | -24,343 | -27,203 | -121,715 | -136,015 | -5,472,749 | -27,363,745 | -60,200,239 | -301,001,195 |
