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 316,426,375, 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 | 316,426,375 | |
| -1 | -316,426,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 316,426,375.
Example:
1 x 316,426,375 = 316,426,375
and
-1 x -316,426,375 = 316,426,375
Notice both answers equal 316,426,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 316,426,375 and divide it by 2:
316,426,375 ÷ 2 = 158,213,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 158,213,187.5 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 | 316,426,375 | |
| -1 | -316,426,375 |
Now, we try dividing 316,426,375 by 3:
316,426,375 ÷ 3 = 105,475,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 105,475,458.3333 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 | 316,426,375 | |
| -1 | -316,426,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
316,426,375 ÷ 4 = 79,106,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 79,106,593.75 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 | 316,426,375 | |
| -1 | 316,426,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 271 | 1,355 | 6,775 | 9,341 | 33,875 | 46,705 | 233,525 | 1,167,625 | 2,531,411 | 12,657,055 | 63,285,275 | 316,426,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -271 | -1,355 | -6,775 | -9,341 | -33,875 | -46,705 | -233,525 | -1,167,625 | -2,531,411 | -12,657,055 | -63,285,275 | -316,426,375 |
