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 301,760,165, 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 | 301,760,165 | |
| -1 | -301,760,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 301,760,165.
Example:
1 x 301,760,165 = 301,760,165
and
-1 x -301,760,165 = 301,760,165
Notice both answers equal 301,760,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 301,760,165 and divide it by 2:
301,760,165 ÷ 2 = 150,880,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 150,880,082.5 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 | 301,760,165 | |
| -1 | -301,760,165 |
Now, we try dividing 301,760,165 by 3:
301,760,165 ÷ 3 = 100,586,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,586,721.6667 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 | 301,760,165 | |
| -1 | -301,760,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
301,760,165 ÷ 4 = 75,440,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,440,041.25 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 | 301,760,165 | |
| -1 | 301,760,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 269 | 1,345 | 1,883 | 9,415 | 32,051 | 160,255 | 224,357 | 1,121,785 | 8,621,719 | 43,108,595 | 60,352,033 | 301,760,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -269 | -1,345 | -1,883 | -9,415 | -32,051 | -160,255 | -224,357 | -1,121,785 | -8,621,719 | -43,108,595 | -60,352,033 | -301,760,165 |
