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 303,535,255, 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 | 303,535,255 | |
| -1 | -303,535,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,535,255.
Example:
1 x 303,535,255 = 303,535,255
and
-1 x -303,535,255 = 303,535,255
Notice both answers equal 303,535,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,535,255 and divide it by 2:
303,535,255 ÷ 2 = 151,767,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,767,627.5 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 | 303,535,255 | |
| -1 | -303,535,255 |
Now, we try dividing 303,535,255 by 3:
303,535,255 ÷ 3 = 101,178,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,178,418.3333 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 | 303,535,255 | |
| -1 | -303,535,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,535,255 ÷ 4 = 75,883,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,883,813.75 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 | 303,535,255 | |
| -1 | 303,535,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 289 | 391 | 1,445 | 1,955 | 6,647 | 9,133 | 33,235 | 45,665 | 155,261 | 210,059 | 776,305 | 1,050,295 | 2,639,437 | 3,571,003 | 13,197,185 | 17,855,015 | 60,707,051 | 303,535,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -289 | -391 | -1,445 | -1,955 | -6,647 | -9,133 | -33,235 | -45,665 | -155,261 | -210,059 | -776,305 | -1,050,295 | -2,639,437 | -3,571,003 | -13,197,185 | -17,855,015 | -60,707,051 | -303,535,255 |
