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 301,342,205, 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 | 301,342,205 | |
| -1 | -301,342,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 301,342,205.
Example:
1 x 301,342,205 = 301,342,205
and
-1 x -301,342,205 = 301,342,205
Notice both answers equal 301,342,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 301,342,205 and divide it by 2:
301,342,205 ÷ 2 = 150,671,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,671,102.5 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 | 301,342,205 | |
| -1 | -301,342,205 |
Now, we try dividing 301,342,205 by 3:
301,342,205 ÷ 3 = 100,447,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,447,401.6667 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 | 301,342,205 | |
| -1 | -301,342,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
301,342,205 ÷ 4 = 75,335,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,335,551.25 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 | 301,342,205 | |
| -1 | 301,342,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 59 | 115 | 295 | 529 | 1,357 | 1,931 | 2,645 | 6,785 | 9,655 | 31,211 | 44,413 | 113,929 | 156,055 | 222,065 | 569,645 | 1,021,499 | 2,620,367 | 5,107,495 | 13,101,835 | 60,268,441 | 301,342,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -59 | -115 | -295 | -529 | -1,357 | -1,931 | -2,645 | -6,785 | -9,655 | -31,211 | -44,413 | -113,929 | -156,055 | -222,065 | -569,645 | -1,021,499 | -2,620,367 | -5,107,495 | -13,101,835 | -60,268,441 | -301,342,205 |
