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 302,502,059, 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 | 302,502,059 | |
| -1 | -302,502,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 302,502,059.
Example:
1 x 302,502,059 = 302,502,059
and
-1 x -302,502,059 = 302,502,059
Notice both answers equal 302,502,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 302,502,059 and divide it by 2:
302,502,059 ÷ 2 = 151,251,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,251,029.5 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 | 302,502,059 | |
| -1 | -302,502,059 |
Now, we try dividing 302,502,059 by 3:
302,502,059 ÷ 3 = 100,834,019.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,834,019.6667 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 | 302,502,059 | |
| -1 | -302,502,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
302,502,059 ÷ 4 = 75,625,514.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,625,514.75 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 | 302,502,059 | |
| -1 | 302,502,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 41 | 577 | 673 | 779 | 10,963 | 12,787 | 23,657 | 27,593 | 388,321 | 449,483 | 524,267 | 7,378,099 | 15,921,161 | 302,502,059 |
| -1 | -19 | -41 | -577 | -673 | -779 | -10,963 | -12,787 | -23,657 | -27,593 | -388,321 | -449,483 | -524,267 | -7,378,099 | -15,921,161 | -302,502,059 |
