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 336,325,045, 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 | 336,325,045 | |
| -1 | -336,325,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 336,325,045.
Example:
1 x 336,325,045 = 336,325,045
and
-1 x -336,325,045 = 336,325,045
Notice both answers equal 336,325,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 336,325,045 and divide it by 2:
336,325,045 ÷ 2 = 168,162,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,162,522.5 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 | 336,325,045 | |
| -1 | -336,325,045 |
Now, we try dividing 336,325,045 by 3:
336,325,045 ÷ 3 = 112,108,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,108,348.3333 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 | 336,325,045 | |
| -1 | -336,325,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
336,325,045 ÷ 4 = 84,081,261.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,081,261.25 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 | 336,325,045 | |
| -1 | 336,325,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 309,977 | 1,549,885 | 2,169,839 | 9,609,287 | 10,849,195 | 48,046,435 | 67,265,009 | 336,325,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -309,977 | -1,549,885 | -2,169,839 | -9,609,287 | -10,849,195 | -48,046,435 | -67,265,009 | -336,325,045 |
