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 337,455,703, 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 | 337,455,703 | |
| -1 | -337,455,703 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 337,455,703.
Example:
1 x 337,455,703 = 337,455,703
and
-1 x -337,455,703 = 337,455,703
Notice both answers equal 337,455,703
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 337,455,703 and divide it by 2:
337,455,703 ÷ 2 = 168,727,851.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 168,727,851.5 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 | 337,455,703 | |
| -1 | -337,455,703 |
Now, we try dividing 337,455,703 by 3:
337,455,703 ÷ 3 = 112,485,234.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 112,485,234.3333 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 | 337,455,703 | |
| -1 | -337,455,703 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
337,455,703 ÷ 4 = 84,363,925.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 84,363,925.75 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 | 337,455,703 | |
| -1 | 337,455,703 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 173 | 227 | 661 | 2,249 | 2,951 | 8,593 | 39,271 | 114,353 | 150,047 | 510,523 | 1,486,589 | 1,950,611 | 25,958,131 | 337,455,703 |
| -1 | -13 | -173 | -227 | -661 | -2,249 | -2,951 | -8,593 | -39,271 | -114,353 | -150,047 | -510,523 | -1,486,589 | -1,950,611 | -25,958,131 | -337,455,703 |
