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 336,355,357, 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 | 336,355,357 | |
| -1 | -336,355,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 336,355,357.
Example:
1 x 336,355,357 = 336,355,357
and
-1 x -336,355,357 = 336,355,357
Notice both answers equal 336,355,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 336,355,357 and divide it by 2:
336,355,357 ÷ 2 = 168,177,678.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,177,678.5 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 | 336,355,357 | |
| -1 | -336,355,357 |
Now, we try dividing 336,355,357 by 3:
336,355,357 ÷ 3 = 112,118,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,118,452.3333 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 | 336,355,357 | |
| -1 | -336,355,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
336,355,357 ÷ 4 = 84,088,839.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,088,839.25 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 | 336,355,357 | |
| -1 | 336,355,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 97 | 359 | 743 | 1,261 | 4,667 | 9,659 | 34,823 | 72,071 | 266,737 | 452,699 | 936,923 | 3,467,581 | 25,873,489 | 336,355,357 |
| -1 | -13 | -97 | -359 | -743 | -1,261 | -4,667 | -9,659 | -34,823 | -72,071 | -266,737 | -452,699 | -936,923 | -3,467,581 | -25,873,489 | -336,355,357 |
