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 334,011,013, 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 | 334,011,013 | |
| -1 | -334,011,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,011,013.
Example:
1 x 334,011,013 = 334,011,013
and
-1 x -334,011,013 = 334,011,013
Notice both answers equal 334,011,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,011,013 and divide it by 2:
334,011,013 ÷ 2 = 167,005,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,005,506.5 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 | 334,011,013 | |
| -1 | -334,011,013 |
Now, we try dividing 334,011,013 by 3:
334,011,013 ÷ 3 = 111,337,004.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,337,004.3333 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 | 334,011,013 | |
| -1 | -334,011,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,011,013 ÷ 4 = 83,502,753.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,502,753.25 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 | 334,011,013 | |
| -1 | 334,011,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 67 | 133 | 469 | 1,273 | 8,911 | 37,483 | 262,381 | 712,177 | 2,511,361 | 4,985,239 | 17,579,527 | 47,715,859 | 334,011,013 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -67 | -133 | -469 | -1,273 | -8,911 | -37,483 | -262,381 | -712,177 | -2,511,361 | -4,985,239 | -17,579,527 | -47,715,859 | -334,011,013 |
