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 337,455,701, 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 | 337,455,701 | |
| -1 | -337,455,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 337,455,701.
Example:
1 x 337,455,701 = 337,455,701
and
-1 x -337,455,701 = 337,455,701
Notice both answers equal 337,455,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 337,455,701 and divide it by 2:
337,455,701 ÷ 2 = 168,727,850.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,727,850.5 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 | 337,455,701 | |
| -1 | -337,455,701 |
Now, we try dividing 337,455,701 by 3:
337,455,701 ÷ 3 = 112,485,233.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,485,233.6667 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 | 337,455,701 | |
| -1 | -337,455,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
337,455,701 ÷ 4 = 84,363,925.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,363,925.25 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 | 337,455,701 | |
| -1 | 337,455,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 43 | 253 | 473 | 989 | 10,879 | 31,019 | 341,209 | 713,437 | 1,333,817 | 7,847,807 | 14,671,987 | 30,677,791 | 337,455,701 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -43 | -253 | -473 | -989 | -10,879 | -31,019 | -341,209 | -713,437 | -1,333,817 | -7,847,807 | -14,671,987 | -30,677,791 | -337,455,701 |
