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 334,122,215, 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 | 334,122,215 | |
| -1 | -334,122,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,122,215.
Example:
1 x 334,122,215 = 334,122,215
and
-1 x -334,122,215 = 334,122,215
Notice both answers equal 334,122,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,122,215 and divide it by 2:
334,122,215 ÷ 2 = 167,061,107.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,061,107.5 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 | 334,122,215 | |
| -1 | -334,122,215 |
Now, we try dividing 334,122,215 by 3:
334,122,215 ÷ 3 = 111,374,071.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,374,071.6667 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 | 334,122,215 | |
| -1 | -334,122,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,122,215 ÷ 4 = 83,530,553.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,530,553.75 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 | 334,122,215 | |
| -1 | 334,122,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 103 | 515 | 721 | 3,605 | 92,683 | 463,415 | 648,781 | 3,243,905 | 9,546,349 | 47,731,745 | 66,824,443 | 334,122,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -103 | -515 | -721 | -3,605 | -92,683 | -463,415 | -648,781 | -3,243,905 | -9,546,349 | -47,731,745 | -66,824,443 | -334,122,215 |
