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 334,626,623, 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 | 334,626,623 | |
| -1 | -334,626,623 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,626,623.
Example:
1 x 334,626,623 = 334,626,623
and
-1 x -334,626,623 = 334,626,623
Notice both answers equal 334,626,623
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,626,623 and divide it by 2:
334,626,623 ÷ 2 = 167,313,311.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,313,311.5 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 | 334,626,623 | |
| -1 | -334,626,623 |
Now, we try dividing 334,626,623 by 3:
334,626,623 ÷ 3 = 111,542,207.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,542,207.6667 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 | 334,626,623 | |
| -1 | -334,626,623 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,626,623 ÷ 4 = 83,656,655.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,656,655.75 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 | 334,626,623 | |
| -1 | 334,626,623 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 97 | 307 | 661 | 1,649 | 5,219 | 11,237 | 29,779 | 64,117 | 202,927 | 506,243 | 1,089,989 | 3,449,759 | 19,683,919 | 334,626,623 |
| -1 | -17 | -97 | -307 | -661 | -1,649 | -5,219 | -11,237 | -29,779 | -64,117 | -202,927 | -506,243 | -1,089,989 | -3,449,759 | -19,683,919 | -334,626,623 |
