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 335,312,453, 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 | 335,312,453 | |
| -1 | -335,312,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,312,453.
Example:
1 x 335,312,453 = 335,312,453
and
-1 x -335,312,453 = 335,312,453
Notice both answers equal 335,312,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,312,453 and divide it by 2:
335,312,453 ÷ 2 = 167,656,226.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,656,226.5 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 | 335,312,453 | |
| -1 | -335,312,453 |
Now, we try dividing 335,312,453 by 3:
335,312,453 ÷ 3 = 111,770,817.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,770,817.6667 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 | 335,312,453 | |
| -1 | -335,312,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,312,453 ÷ 4 = 83,828,113.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,828,113.25 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 | 335,312,453 | |
| -1 | 335,312,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 167 | 373 | 769 | 1,169 | 2,611 | 5,383 | 62,291 | 128,423 | 286,837 | 436,037 | 898,961 | 2,007,859 | 47,901,779 | 335,312,453 |
| -1 | -7 | -167 | -373 | -769 | -1,169 | -2,611 | -5,383 | -62,291 | -128,423 | -286,837 | -436,037 | -898,961 | -2,007,859 | -47,901,779 | -335,312,453 |
