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 337,356,041, 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 | 337,356,041 | |
| -1 | -337,356,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 337,356,041.
Example:
1 x 337,356,041 = 337,356,041
and
-1 x -337,356,041 = 337,356,041
Notice both answers equal 337,356,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 337,356,041 and divide it by 2:
337,356,041 ÷ 2 = 168,678,020.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,678,020.5 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 | 337,356,041 | |
| -1 | -337,356,041 |
Now, we try dividing 337,356,041 by 3:
337,356,041 ÷ 3 = 112,452,013.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,452,013.6667 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 | 337,356,041 | |
| -1 | -337,356,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
337,356,041 ÷ 4 = 84,339,010.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,339,010.25 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 | 337,356,041 | |
| -1 | 337,356,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 59 | 187 | 649 | 1,003 | 11,033 | 30,577 | 336,347 | 519,809 | 1,804,043 | 5,717,899 | 19,844,473 | 30,668,731 | 337,356,041 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -59 | -187 | -649 | -1,003 | -11,033 | -30,577 | -336,347 | -519,809 | -1,804,043 | -5,717,899 | -19,844,473 | -30,668,731 | -337,356,041 |
