How do I find the factor combinations of the number 311,801,945?

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 311,801,945, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 311,801,945
-1 -311,801,945

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 311,801,945.

Example:
1 x 311,801,945 = 311,801,945
and
-1 x -311,801,945 = 311,801,945
Notice both answers equal 311,801,945

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 311,801,945 and divide it by 2:

311,801,945 ÷ 2 = 155,900,972.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 155,900,972.5 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:

1 311,801,945
-1 -311,801,945

Now, we try dividing 311,801,945 by 3:

311,801,945 ÷ 3 = 103,933,981.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 103,933,981.6667 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:

1 311,801,945
-1 -311,801,945

Let's try dividing by 4:

311,801,945 ÷ 4 = 77,950,486.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 77,950,486.25 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:

1 311,801,945
-1 311,801,945
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

15713354965912232454394556371,1151,5612,1952,8993,0733,1855,7077,80510,92714,49515,36520,29321,51128,53539,94954,63597,897101,465107,555142,051199,745279,643489,485685,279710,2551,272,6611,398,2153,426,3954,796,9536,363,3058,908,62723,984,76544,543,13562,360,389311,801,945
