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 336,340,115, 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 | 336,340,115 | |
| -1 | -336,340,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 336,340,115.
Example:
1 x 336,340,115 = 336,340,115
and
-1 x -336,340,115 = 336,340,115
Notice both answers equal 336,340,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 336,340,115 and divide it by 2:
336,340,115 ÷ 2 = 168,170,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,170,057.5 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 | 336,340,115 | |
| -1 | -336,340,115 |
Now, we try dividing 336,340,115 by 3:
336,340,115 ÷ 3 = 112,113,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,113,371.6667 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 | 336,340,115 | |
| -1 | -336,340,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
336,340,115 ÷ 4 = 84,085,028.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,085,028.75 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 | 336,340,115 | |
| -1 | 336,340,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 269 | 1,345 | 7,801 | 8,623 | 39,005 | 43,115 | 250,067 | 1,250,335 | 2,319,587 | 11,597,935 | 67,268,023 | 336,340,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -269 | -1,345 | -7,801 | -8,623 | -39,005 | -43,115 | -250,067 | -1,250,335 | -2,319,587 | -11,597,935 | -67,268,023 | -336,340,115 |
