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 301,450,435, 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 | 301,450,435 | |
| -1 | -301,450,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 301,450,435.
Example:
1 x 301,450,435 = 301,450,435
and
-1 x -301,450,435 = 301,450,435
Notice both answers equal 301,450,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 301,450,435 and divide it by 2:
301,450,435 ÷ 2 = 150,725,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,725,217.5 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 | 301,450,435 | |
| -1 | -301,450,435 |
Now, we try dividing 301,450,435 by 3:
301,450,435 ÷ 3 = 100,483,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,483,478.3333 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 | 301,450,435 | |
| -1 | -301,450,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
301,450,435 ÷ 4 = 75,362,608.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,362,608.75 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 | 301,450,435 | |
| -1 | 301,450,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 421,609 | 2,108,045 | 4,637,699 | 5,480,917 | 23,188,495 | 27,404,585 | 60,290,087 | 301,450,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -421,609 | -2,108,045 | -4,637,699 | -5,480,917 | -23,188,495 | -27,404,585 | -60,290,087 | -301,450,435 |
