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 336,756,001, 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 | 336,756,001 | |
| -1 | -336,756,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 336,756,001.
Example:
1 x 336,756,001 = 336,756,001
and
-1 x -336,756,001 = 336,756,001
Notice both answers equal 336,756,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 336,756,001 and divide it by 2:
336,756,001 ÷ 2 = 168,378,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,378,000.5 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 | 336,756,001 | |
| -1 | -336,756,001 |
Now, we try dividing 336,756,001 by 3:
336,756,001 ÷ 3 = 112,252,000.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,252,000.3333 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 | 336,756,001 | |
| -1 | -336,756,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
336,756,001 ÷ 4 = 84,189,000.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,189,000.25 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 | 336,756,001 | |
| -1 | 336,756,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 137 | 167 | 359 | 5,617 | 6,847 | 14,719 | 22,879 | 49,183 | 59,953 | 938,039 | 2,016,503 | 2,458,073 | 8,213,561 | 336,756,001 |
| -1 | -41 | -137 | -167 | -359 | -5,617 | -6,847 | -14,719 | -22,879 | -49,183 | -59,953 | -938,039 | -2,016,503 | -2,458,073 | -8,213,561 | -336,756,001 |
