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 341,143,205, 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 | 341,143,205 | |
| -1 | -341,143,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,143,205.
Example:
1 x 341,143,205 = 341,143,205
and
-1 x -341,143,205 = 341,143,205
Notice both answers equal 341,143,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,143,205 and divide it by 2:
341,143,205 ÷ 2 = 170,571,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,571,602.5 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 | 341,143,205 | |
| -1 | -341,143,205 |
Now, we try dividing 341,143,205 by 3:
341,143,205 ÷ 3 = 113,714,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,714,401.6667 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 | 341,143,205 | |
| -1 | -341,143,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,143,205 ÷ 4 = 85,285,801.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,285,801.25 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 | 341,143,205 | |
| -1 | 341,143,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 2,273 | 2,309 | 11,365 | 11,545 | 29,549 | 30,017 | 147,745 | 150,085 | 5,248,357 | 26,241,785 | 68,228,641 | 341,143,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -2,273 | -2,309 | -11,365 | -11,545 | -29,549 | -30,017 | -147,745 | -150,085 | -5,248,357 | -26,241,785 | -68,228,641 | -341,143,205 |
