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 335,231,351, 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 | 335,231,351 | |
| -1 | -335,231,351 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,231,351.
Example:
1 x 335,231,351 = 335,231,351
and
-1 x -335,231,351 = 335,231,351
Notice both answers equal 335,231,351
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,231,351 and divide it by 2:
335,231,351 ÷ 2 = 167,615,675.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,615,675.5 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 | 335,231,351 | |
| -1 | -335,231,351 |
Now, we try dividing 335,231,351 by 3:
335,231,351 ÷ 3 = 111,743,783.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,743,783.6667 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 | 335,231,351 | |
| -1 | -335,231,351 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,231,351 ÷ 4 = 83,807,837.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,807,837.75 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 | 335,231,351 | |
| -1 | 335,231,351 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 67 | 91 | 469 | 871 | 6,097 | 54,983 | 384,881 | 714,779 | 3,683,861 | 5,003,453 | 25,787,027 | 47,890,193 | 335,231,351 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -67 | -91 | -469 | -871 | -6,097 | -54,983 | -384,881 | -714,779 | -3,683,861 | -5,003,453 | -25,787,027 | -47,890,193 | -335,231,351 |
