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 335,356,859, 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 | 335,356,859 | |
| -1 | -335,356,859 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,356,859.
Example:
1 x 335,356,859 = 335,356,859
and
-1 x -335,356,859 = 335,356,859
Notice both answers equal 335,356,859
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,356,859 and divide it by 2:
335,356,859 ÷ 2 = 167,678,429.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,678,429.5 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 | 335,356,859 | |
| -1 | -335,356,859 |
Now, we try dividing 335,356,859 by 3:
335,356,859 ÷ 3 = 111,785,619.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,785,619.6667 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 | 335,356,859 | |
| -1 | -335,356,859 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,356,859 ÷ 4 = 83,839,214.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,839,214.75 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 | 335,356,859 | |
| -1 | 335,356,859 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 211 | 437 | 3,637 | 4,009 | 4,853 | 69,103 | 83,651 | 92,207 | 767,407 | 1,589,369 | 14,580,733 | 17,650,361 | 335,356,859 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -211 | -437 | -3,637 | -4,009 | -4,853 | -69,103 | -83,651 | -92,207 | -767,407 | -1,589,369 | -14,580,733 | -17,650,361 | -335,356,859 |
