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 314,360,435, 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 | 314,360,435 | |
| -1 | -314,360,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 314,360,435.
Example:
1 x 314,360,435 = 314,360,435
and
-1 x -314,360,435 = 314,360,435
Notice both answers equal 314,360,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 314,360,435 and divide it by 2:
314,360,435 ÷ 2 = 157,180,217.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 157,180,217.5 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 | 314,360,435 | |
| -1 | -314,360,435 |
Now, we try dividing 314,360,435 by 3:
314,360,435 ÷ 3 = 104,786,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 104,786,811.6667 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 | 314,360,435 | |
| -1 | -314,360,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
314,360,435 ÷ 4 = 78,590,108.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 78,590,108.75 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 | 314,360,435 | |
| -1 | 314,360,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 29 | 115 | 145 | 667 | 3,335 | 94,261 | 471,305 | 2,168,003 | 2,733,569 | 10,840,015 | 13,667,845 | 62,872,087 | 314,360,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -29 | -115 | -145 | -667 | -3,335 | -94,261 | -471,305 | -2,168,003 | -2,733,569 | -10,840,015 | -13,667,845 | -62,872,087 | -314,360,435 |
