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 335,531,365, 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 | 335,531,365 | |
| -1 | -335,531,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,531,365.
Example:
1 x 335,531,365 = 335,531,365
and
-1 x -335,531,365 = 335,531,365
Notice both answers equal 335,531,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,531,365 and divide it by 2:
335,531,365 ÷ 2 = 167,765,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,765,682.5 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 | 335,531,365 | |
| -1 | -335,531,365 |
Now, we try dividing 335,531,365 by 3:
335,531,365 ÷ 3 = 111,843,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,843,788.3333 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 | 335,531,365 | |
| -1 | -335,531,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,531,365 ÷ 4 = 83,882,841.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,882,841.25 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 | 335,531,365 | |
| -1 | 335,531,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 120,047 | 600,235 | 1,560,611 | 5,162,021 | 7,803,055 | 25,810,105 | 67,106,273 | 335,531,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -120,047 | -600,235 | -1,560,611 | -5,162,021 | -7,803,055 | -25,810,105 | -67,106,273 | -335,531,365 |
