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 316,236,107, 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 | 316,236,107 | |
| -1 | -316,236,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 316,236,107.
Example:
1 x 316,236,107 = 316,236,107
and
-1 x -316,236,107 = 316,236,107
Notice both answers equal 316,236,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 316,236,107 and divide it by 2:
316,236,107 ÷ 2 = 158,118,053.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 158,118,053.5 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 | 316,236,107 | |
| -1 | -316,236,107 |
Now, we try dividing 316,236,107 by 3:
316,236,107 ÷ 3 = 105,412,035.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 105,412,035.6667 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 | 316,236,107 | |
| -1 | -316,236,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
316,236,107 ÷ 4 = 79,059,026.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 79,059,026.75 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 | 316,236,107 | |
| -1 | 316,236,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 313 | 583 | 1,733 | 3,443 | 16,589 | 19,063 | 91,849 | 182,479 | 542,429 | 1,010,339 | 5,966,719 | 28,748,737 | 316,236,107 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -313 | -583 | -1,733 | -3,443 | -16,589 | -19,063 | -91,849 | -182,479 | -542,429 | -1,010,339 | -5,966,719 | -28,748,737 | -316,236,107 |
