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 335,335,555, 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 | 335,335,555 | |
| -1 | -335,335,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,335,555.
Example:
1 x 335,335,555 = 335,335,555
and
-1 x -335,335,555 = 335,335,555
Notice both answers equal 335,335,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,335,555 and divide it by 2:
335,335,555 ÷ 2 = 167,667,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,667,777.5 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 | 335,335,555 | |
| -1 | -335,335,555 |
Now, we try dividing 335,335,555 by 3:
335,335,555 ÷ 3 = 111,778,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,778,518.3333 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 | 335,335,555 | |
| -1 | -335,335,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,335,555 ÷ 4 = 83,833,888.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,833,888.75 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 | 335,335,555 | |
| -1 | 335,335,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 103 | 145 | 515 | 2,987 | 14,935 | 22,453 | 112,265 | 651,137 | 2,312,659 | 3,255,685 | 11,563,295 | 67,067,111 | 335,335,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -103 | -145 | -515 | -2,987 | -14,935 | -22,453 | -112,265 | -651,137 | -2,312,659 | -3,255,685 | -11,563,295 | -67,067,111 | -335,335,555 |
