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 334,738,745, 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 | 334,738,745 | |
| -1 | -334,738,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 334,738,745.
Example:
1 x 334,738,745 = 334,738,745
and
-1 x -334,738,745 = 334,738,745
Notice both answers equal 334,738,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 334,738,745 and divide it by 2:
334,738,745 ÷ 2 = 167,369,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,369,372.5 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 | 334,738,745 | |
| -1 | -334,738,745 |
Now, we try dividing 334,738,745 by 3:
334,738,745 ÷ 3 = 111,579,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,579,581.6667 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 | 334,738,745 | |
| -1 | -334,738,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
334,738,745 ÷ 4 = 83,684,686.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,684,686.25 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 | 334,738,745 | |
| -1 | 334,738,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 101 | 505 | 1,111 | 5,555 | 60,259 | 301,295 | 662,849 | 3,314,245 | 6,086,159 | 30,430,795 | 66,947,749 | 334,738,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -101 | -505 | -1,111 | -5,555 | -60,259 | -301,295 | -662,849 | -3,314,245 | -6,086,159 | -30,430,795 | -66,947,749 | -334,738,745 |
