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 314,725,063, 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 | 314,725,063 | |
| -1 | -314,725,063 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 314,725,063.
Example:
1 x 314,725,063 = 314,725,063
and
-1 x -314,725,063 = 314,725,063
Notice both answers equal 314,725,063
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 314,725,063 and divide it by 2:
314,725,063 ÷ 2 = 157,362,531.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 157,362,531.5 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 | 314,725,063 | |
| -1 | -314,725,063 |
Now, we try dividing 314,725,063 by 3:
314,725,063 ÷ 3 = 104,908,354.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 104,908,354.3333 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 | 314,725,063 | |
| -1 | -314,725,063 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
314,725,063 ÷ 4 = 78,681,265.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 78,681,265.75 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 | 314,725,063 | |
| -1 | 314,725,063 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 67 | 323 | 1,139 | 1,273 | 14,543 | 21,641 | 247,231 | 276,317 | 974,381 | 4,697,389 | 16,564,477 | 18,513,239 | 314,725,063 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -67 | -323 | -1,139 | -1,273 | -14,543 | -21,641 | -247,231 | -276,317 | -974,381 | -4,697,389 | -16,564,477 | -18,513,239 | -314,725,063 |
