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 303,114,565, 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 | 303,114,565 | |
| -1 | -303,114,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,114,565.
Example:
1 x 303,114,565 = 303,114,565
and
-1 x -303,114,565 = 303,114,565
Notice both answers equal 303,114,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,114,565 and divide it by 2:
303,114,565 ÷ 2 = 151,557,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,557,282.5 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 | 303,114,565 | |
| -1 | -303,114,565 |
Now, we try dividing 303,114,565 by 3:
303,114,565 ÷ 3 = 101,038,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,038,188.3333 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 | 303,114,565 | |
| -1 | -303,114,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,114,565 ÷ 4 = 75,778,641.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,778,641.25 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 | 303,114,565 | |
| -1 | 303,114,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 3,835 | 79,039 | 395,195 | 1,027,507 | 4,663,301 | 5,137,535 | 23,316,505 | 60,622,913 | 303,114,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -3,835 | -79,039 | -395,195 | -1,027,507 | -4,663,301 | -5,137,535 | -23,316,505 | -60,622,913 | -303,114,565 |
