How do I find the factor combinations of the number 334,104,043?

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 334,104,043, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 334,104,043
-1 -334,104,043

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,104,043.

Example:
1 x 334,104,043 = 334,104,043
and
-1 x -334,104,043 = 334,104,043
Notice both answers equal 334,104,043

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,104,043 and divide it by 2:

334,104,043 ÷ 2 = 167,052,021.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,052,021.5 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:

1 334,104,043
-1 -334,104,043

Now, we try dividing 334,104,043 by 3:

334,104,043 ÷ 3 = 111,368,014.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,368,014.3333 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:

1 334,104,043
-1 -334,104,043

Let's try dividing by 4:

334,104,043 ÷ 4 = 83,526,010.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,526,010.75 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:

1 334,104,043
-1 334,104,043
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

17131737911191692212594494816291,1831,5472,8733,1433,3674,4035,8376,2537,6338,17716,61320,11140,85943,77153,43157,23975,88199,229106,301116,291215,969282,421531,167694,603744,1071,289,9771,511,7831,976,9472,807,5973,671,4739,029,83919,653,17925,700,31147,729,149334,104,043
