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 335,005,013, 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 | 335,005,013 | |
| -1 | -335,005,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,005,013.
Example:
1 x 335,005,013 = 335,005,013
and
-1 x -335,005,013 = 335,005,013
Notice both answers equal 335,005,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,005,013 and divide it by 2:
335,005,013 ÷ 2 = 167,502,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,502,506.5 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 | 335,005,013 | |
| -1 | -335,005,013 |
Now, we try dividing 335,005,013 by 3:
335,005,013 ÷ 3 = 111,668,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,668,337.6667 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 | 335,005,013 | |
| -1 | -335,005,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,005,013 ÷ 4 = 83,751,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,751,253.25 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 | 335,005,013 | |
| -1 | 335,005,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 49 | 203 | 343 | 1,421 | 9,947 | 33,679 | 235,753 | 976,691 | 1,650,271 | 6,836,837 | 11,551,897 | 47,857,859 | 335,005,013 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -49 | -203 | -343 | -1,421 | -9,947 | -33,679 | -235,753 | -976,691 | -1,650,271 | -6,836,837 | -11,551,897 | -47,857,859 | -335,005,013 |
