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 303,062,125, 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 | 303,062,125 | |
| -1 | -303,062,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,062,125.
Example:
1 x 303,062,125 = 303,062,125
and
-1 x -303,062,125 = 303,062,125
Notice both answers equal 303,062,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,062,125 and divide it by 2:
303,062,125 ÷ 2 = 151,531,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,531,062.5 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 | 303,062,125 | |
| -1 | -303,062,125 |
Now, we try dividing 303,062,125 by 3:
303,062,125 ÷ 3 = 101,020,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,020,708.3333 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 | 303,062,125 | |
| -1 | -303,062,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,062,125 ÷ 4 = 75,765,531.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,765,531.25 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 | 303,062,125 | |
| -1 | 303,062,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 269 | 1,345 | 6,725 | 9,013 | 33,625 | 45,065 | 225,325 | 1,126,625 | 2,424,497 | 12,122,485 | 60,612,425 | 303,062,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -269 | -1,345 | -6,725 | -9,013 | -33,625 | -45,065 | -225,325 | -1,126,625 | -2,424,497 | -12,122,485 | -60,612,425 | -303,062,125 |
