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 335,625,235, 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 | 335,625,235 | |
| -1 | -335,625,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 335,625,235.
Example:
1 x 335,625,235 = 335,625,235
and
-1 x -335,625,235 = 335,625,235
Notice both answers equal 335,625,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 335,625,235 and divide it by 2:
335,625,235 ÷ 2 = 167,812,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 167,812,617.5 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 | 335,625,235 | |
| -1 | -335,625,235 |
Now, we try dividing 335,625,235 by 3:
335,625,235 ÷ 3 = 111,875,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 111,875,078.3333 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 | 335,625,235 | |
| -1 | -335,625,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
335,625,235 ÷ 4 = 83,906,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,906,308.75 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 | 335,625,235 | |
| -1 | 335,625,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 571 | 2,855 | 6,281 | 10,687 | 31,405 | 53,435 | 117,557 | 587,785 | 6,102,277 | 30,511,385 | 67,125,047 | 335,625,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -571 | -2,855 | -6,281 | -10,687 | -31,405 | -53,435 | -117,557 | -587,785 | -6,102,277 | -30,511,385 | -67,125,047 | -335,625,235 |
