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 341,000,023, 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 | 341,000,023 | |
| -1 | -341,000,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,000,023.
Example:
1 x 341,000,023 = 341,000,023
and
-1 x -341,000,023 = 341,000,023
Notice both answers equal 341,000,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,000,023 and divide it by 2:
341,000,023 ÷ 2 = 170,500,011.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,500,011.5 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 | 341,000,023 | |
| -1 | -341,000,023 |
Now, we try dividing 341,000,023 by 3:
341,000,023 ÷ 3 = 113,666,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,666,674.3333 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 | 341,000,023 | |
| -1 | -341,000,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,000,023 ÷ 4 = 85,250,005.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,250,005.75 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 | 341,000,023 | |
| -1 | 341,000,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 347 | 2,429 | 4,511 | 10,799 | 31,577 | 75,593 | 140,387 | 982,709 | 3,747,253 | 26,230,771 | 48,714,289 | 341,000,023 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -347 | -2,429 | -4,511 | -10,799 | -31,577 | -75,593 | -140,387 | -982,709 | -3,747,253 | -26,230,771 | -48,714,289 | -341,000,023 |
