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 334,063,505, 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 | 334,063,505 | |
| -1 | -334,063,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,063,505.
Example:
1 x 334,063,505 = 334,063,505
and
-1 x -334,063,505 = 334,063,505
Notice both answers equal 334,063,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,063,505 and divide it by 2:
334,063,505 ÷ 2 = 167,031,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,031,752.5 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 | 334,063,505 | |
| -1 | -334,063,505 |
Now, we try dividing 334,063,505 by 3:
334,063,505 ÷ 3 = 111,354,501.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,354,501.6667 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 | 334,063,505 | |
| -1 | -334,063,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,063,505 ÷ 4 = 83,515,876.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,515,876.25 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 | 334,063,505 | |
| -1 | 334,063,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 103 | 265 | 515 | 5,459 | 12,239 | 27,295 | 61,195 | 648,667 | 1,260,617 | 3,243,335 | 6,303,085 | 66,812,701 | 334,063,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -103 | -265 | -515 | -5,459 | -12,239 | -27,295 | -61,195 | -648,667 | -1,260,617 | -3,243,335 | -6,303,085 | -66,812,701 | -334,063,505 |
