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 334,343,135, 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 | 334,343,135 | |
| -1 | -334,343,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,343,135.
Example:
1 x 334,343,135 = 334,343,135
and
-1 x -334,343,135 = 334,343,135
Notice both answers equal 334,343,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,343,135 and divide it by 2:
334,343,135 ÷ 2 = 167,171,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,171,567.5 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 | 334,343,135 | |
| -1 | -334,343,135 |
Now, we try dividing 334,343,135 by 3:
334,343,135 ÷ 3 = 111,447,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,447,711.6667 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 | 334,343,135 | |
| -1 | -334,343,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,343,135 ÷ 4 = 83,585,783.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,585,783.75 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 | 334,343,135 | |
| -1 | 334,343,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 61 | 305 | 427 | 2,135 | 156,601 | 783,005 | 1,096,207 | 5,481,035 | 9,552,661 | 47,763,305 | 66,868,627 | 334,343,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -61 | -305 | -427 | -2,135 | -156,601 | -783,005 | -1,096,207 | -5,481,035 | -9,552,661 | -47,763,305 | -66,868,627 | -334,343,135 |
