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 336,552,625, 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 | 336,552,625 | |
| -1 | -336,552,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 336,552,625.
Example:
1 x 336,552,625 = 336,552,625
and
-1 x -336,552,625 = 336,552,625
Notice both answers equal 336,552,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 336,552,625 and divide it by 2:
336,552,625 ÷ 2 = 168,276,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,276,312.5 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 | 336,552,625 | |
| -1 | -336,552,625 |
Now, we try dividing 336,552,625 by 3:
336,552,625 ÷ 3 = 112,184,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,184,208.3333 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 | 336,552,625 | |
| -1 | -336,552,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
336,552,625 ÷ 4 = 84,138,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,138,156.25 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 | 336,552,625 | |
| -1 | 336,552,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 269 | 1,345 | 6,725 | 10,009 | 33,625 | 50,045 | 250,225 | 1,251,125 | 2,692,421 | 13,462,105 | 67,310,525 | 336,552,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -269 | -1,345 | -6,725 | -10,009 | -33,625 | -50,045 | -250,225 | -1,251,125 | -2,692,421 | -13,462,105 | -67,310,525 | -336,552,625 |
