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 341,004,001, 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 | 341,004,001 | |
| -1 | -341,004,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,004,001.
Example:
1 x 341,004,001 = 341,004,001
and
-1 x -341,004,001 = 341,004,001
Notice both answers equal 341,004,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,004,001 and divide it by 2:
341,004,001 ÷ 2 = 170,502,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,502,000.5 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 | 341,004,001 | |
| -1 | -341,004,001 |
Now, we try dividing 341,004,001 by 3:
341,004,001 ÷ 3 = 113,668,000.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,668,000.3333 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 | 341,004,001 | |
| -1 | -341,004,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,004,001 ÷ 4 = 85,251,000.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,251,000.25 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 | 341,004,001 | |
| -1 | 341,004,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 247 | 353 | 3,911 | 4,589 | 6,707 | 50,843 | 74,309 | 87,191 | 966,017 | 1,380,583 | 17,947,579 | 26,231,077 | 341,004,001 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -247 | -353 | -3,911 | -4,589 | -6,707 | -50,843 | -74,309 | -87,191 | -966,017 | -1,380,583 | -17,947,579 | -26,231,077 | -341,004,001 |
