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 303,324,335, 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 | 303,324,335 | |
| -1 | -303,324,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,324,335.
Example:
1 x 303,324,335 = 303,324,335
and
-1 x -303,324,335 = 303,324,335
Notice both answers equal 303,324,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,324,335 and divide it by 2:
303,324,335 ÷ 2 = 151,662,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,662,167.5 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 | 303,324,335 | |
| -1 | -303,324,335 |
Now, we try dividing 303,324,335 by 3:
303,324,335 ÷ 3 = 101,108,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,108,111.6667 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 | 303,324,335 | |
| -1 | -303,324,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,324,335 ÷ 4 = 75,831,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,831,083.75 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 | 303,324,335 | |
| -1 | 303,324,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 97 | 185 | 485 | 3,589 | 16,903 | 17,945 | 84,515 | 625,411 | 1,639,591 | 3,127,055 | 8,197,955 | 60,664,867 | 303,324,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -97 | -185 | -485 | -3,589 | -16,903 | -17,945 | -84,515 | -625,411 | -1,639,591 | -3,127,055 | -8,197,955 | -60,664,867 | -303,324,335 |
