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 314,401,435, 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 | 314,401,435 | |
| -1 | -314,401,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 314,401,435.
Example:
1 x 314,401,435 = 314,401,435
and
-1 x -314,401,435 = 314,401,435
Notice both answers equal 314,401,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 314,401,435 and divide it by 2:
314,401,435 ÷ 2 = 157,200,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 157,200,717.5 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 | 314,401,435 | |
| -1 | -314,401,435 |
Now, we try dividing 314,401,435 by 3:
314,401,435 ÷ 3 = 104,800,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 104,800,478.3333 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 | 314,401,435 | |
| -1 | -314,401,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
314,401,435 ÷ 4 = 78,600,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 78,600,358.75 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 | 314,401,435 | |
| -1 | 314,401,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 395 | 557 | 1,429 | 2,785 | 7,145 | 44,003 | 112,891 | 220,015 | 564,455 | 795,953 | 3,979,765 | 62,880,287 | 314,401,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -395 | -557 | -1,429 | -2,785 | -7,145 | -44,003 | -112,891 | -220,015 | -564,455 | -795,953 | -3,979,765 | -62,880,287 | -314,401,435 |
