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 314,443,435, 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 | 314,443,435 | |
| -1 | -314,443,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 314,443,435.
Example:
1 x 314,443,435 = 314,443,435
and
-1 x -314,443,435 = 314,443,435
Notice both answers equal 314,443,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 314,443,435 and divide it by 2:
314,443,435 ÷ 2 = 157,221,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 157,221,717.5 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 | 314,443,435 | |
| -1 | -314,443,435 |
Now, we try dividing 314,443,435 by 3:
314,443,435 ÷ 3 = 104,814,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 104,814,478.3333 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 | 314,443,435 | |
| -1 | -314,443,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
314,443,435 ÷ 4 = 78,610,858.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 78,610,858.75 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 | 314,443,435 | |
| -1 | 314,443,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 265 | 1,051 | 1,129 | 5,255 | 5,645 | 55,703 | 59,837 | 278,515 | 299,185 | 1,186,579 | 5,932,895 | 62,888,687 | 314,443,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -265 | -1,051 | -1,129 | -5,255 | -5,645 | -55,703 | -59,837 | -278,515 | -299,185 | -1,186,579 | -5,932,895 | -62,888,687 | -314,443,435 |
