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 334,303,151, 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 | 334,303,151 | |
| -1 | -334,303,151 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,303,151.
Example:
1 x 334,303,151 = 334,303,151
and
-1 x -334,303,151 = 334,303,151
Notice both answers equal 334,303,151
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,303,151 and divide it by 2:
334,303,151 ÷ 2 = 167,151,575.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,151,575.5 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 | 334,303,151 | |
| -1 | -334,303,151 |
Now, we try dividing 334,303,151 by 3:
334,303,151 ÷ 3 = 111,434,383.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,434,383.6667 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 | 334,303,151 | |
| -1 | -334,303,151 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,303,151 ÷ 4 = 83,575,787.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,575,787.75 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 | 334,303,151 | |
| -1 | 334,303,151 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 47 | 91 | 329 | 611 | 4,277 | 78,163 | 547,141 | 1,016,119 | 3,673,661 | 7,112,833 | 25,715,627 | 47,757,593 | 334,303,151 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -47 | -91 | -329 | -611 | -4,277 | -78,163 | -547,141 | -1,016,119 | -3,673,661 | -7,112,833 | -25,715,627 | -47,757,593 | -334,303,151 |
