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 335,521,165, 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 | 335,521,165 | |
| -1 | -335,521,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,521,165.
Example:
1 x 335,521,165 = 335,521,165
and
-1 x -335,521,165 = 335,521,165
Notice both answers equal 335,521,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,521,165 and divide it by 2:
335,521,165 ÷ 2 = 167,760,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,760,582.5 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 | 335,521,165 | |
| -1 | -335,521,165 |
Now, we try dividing 335,521,165 by 3:
335,521,165 ÷ 3 = 111,840,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,840,388.3333 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 | 335,521,165 | |
| -1 | -335,521,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,521,165 ÷ 4 = 83,880,291.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,880,291.25 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 | 335,521,165 | |
| -1 | 335,521,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 233 | 1,165 | 1,631 | 8,155 | 41,143 | 205,715 | 288,001 | 1,440,005 | 9,586,319 | 47,931,595 | 67,104,233 | 335,521,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -233 | -1,165 | -1,631 | -8,155 | -41,143 | -205,715 | -288,001 | -1,440,005 | -9,586,319 | -47,931,595 | -67,104,233 | -335,521,165 |
