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 303,566,351, 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 | 303,566,351 | |
| -1 | -303,566,351 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 303,566,351.
Example:
1 x 303,566,351 = 303,566,351
and
-1 x -303,566,351 = 303,566,351
Notice both answers equal 303,566,351
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 303,566,351 and divide it by 2:
303,566,351 ÷ 2 = 151,783,175.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,783,175.5 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 | 303,566,351 | |
| -1 | -303,566,351 |
Now, we try dividing 303,566,351 by 3:
303,566,351 ÷ 3 = 101,188,783.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 101,188,783.6667 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 | 303,566,351 | |
| -1 | -303,566,351 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
303,566,351 ÷ 4 = 75,891,587.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,891,587.75 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 | 303,566,351 | |
| -1 | 303,566,351 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 53 | 253 | 583 | 1,219 | 13,409 | 22,639 | 249,029 | 520,697 | 1,199,867 | 5,727,667 | 13,198,537 | 27,596,941 | 303,566,351 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -53 | -253 | -583 | -1,219 | -13,409 | -22,639 | -249,029 | -520,697 | -1,199,867 | -5,727,667 | -13,198,537 | -27,596,941 | -303,566,351 |
