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 301,110,535, 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 | 301,110,535 | |
| -1 | -301,110,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 301,110,535.
Example:
1 x 301,110,535 = 301,110,535
and
-1 x -301,110,535 = 301,110,535
Notice both answers equal 301,110,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 301,110,535 and divide it by 2:
301,110,535 ÷ 2 = 150,555,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,555,267.5 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 | 301,110,535 | |
| -1 | -301,110,535 |
Now, we try dividing 301,110,535 by 3:
301,110,535 ÷ 3 = 100,370,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,370,178.3333 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 | 301,110,535 | |
| -1 | -301,110,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
301,110,535 ÷ 4 = 75,277,633.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,277,633.75 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 | 301,110,535 | |
| -1 | 301,110,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 113 | 565 | 1,243 | 6,215 | 48,449 | 242,245 | 532,939 | 2,664,695 | 5,474,737 | 27,373,685 | 60,222,107 | 301,110,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -113 | -565 | -1,243 | -6,215 | -48,449 | -242,245 | -532,939 | -2,664,695 | -5,474,737 | -27,373,685 | -60,222,107 | -301,110,535 |
