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 335,531,363, 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 | 335,531,363 | |
| -1 | -335,531,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,531,363.
Example:
1 x 335,531,363 = 335,531,363
and
-1 x -335,531,363 = 335,531,363
Notice both answers equal 335,531,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,531,363 and divide it by 2:
335,531,363 ÷ 2 = 167,765,681.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,765,681.5 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 | 335,531,363 | |
| -1 | -335,531,363 |
Now, we try dividing 335,531,363 by 3:
335,531,363 ÷ 3 = 111,843,787.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,843,787.6667 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 | 335,531,363 | |
| -1 | -335,531,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,531,363 ÷ 4 = 83,882,840.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,882,840.75 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 | 335,531,363 | |
| -1 | 335,531,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 383 | 493 | 1,777 | 6,511 | 11,107 | 30,209 | 51,533 | 188,819 | 680,591 | 876,061 | 11,570,047 | 19,737,139 | 335,531,363 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -383 | -493 | -1,777 | -6,511 | -11,107 | -30,209 | -51,533 | -188,819 | -680,591 | -876,061 | -11,570,047 | -19,737,139 | -335,531,363 |
