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 334,563,313, 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 | 334,563,313 | |
| -1 | -334,563,313 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,563,313.
Example:
1 x 334,563,313 = 334,563,313
and
-1 x -334,563,313 = 334,563,313
Notice both answers equal 334,563,313
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,563,313 and divide it by 2:
334,563,313 ÷ 2 = 167,281,656.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,281,656.5 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 | 334,563,313 | |
| -1 | -334,563,313 |
Now, we try dividing 334,563,313 by 3:
334,563,313 ÷ 3 = 111,521,104.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,521,104.3333 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 | 334,563,313 | |
| -1 | -334,563,313 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,563,313 ÷ 4 = 83,640,828.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,640,828.25 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 | 334,563,313 | |
| -1 | 334,563,313 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 161 | 563 | 3,691 | 3,941 | 12,949 | 25,837 | 84,893 | 90,643 | 594,251 | 2,078,033 | 14,546,231 | 47,794,759 | 334,563,313 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -161 | -563 | -3,691 | -3,941 | -12,949 | -25,837 | -84,893 | -90,643 | -594,251 | -2,078,033 | -14,546,231 | -47,794,759 | -334,563,313 |
