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 341,322,205, 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 | 341,322,205 | |
| -1 | -341,322,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,322,205.
Example:
1 x 341,322,205 = 341,322,205
and
-1 x -341,322,205 = 341,322,205
Notice both answers equal 341,322,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,322,205 and divide it by 2:
341,322,205 ÷ 2 = 170,661,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,661,102.5 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 | 341,322,205 | |
| -1 | -341,322,205 |
Now, we try dividing 341,322,205 by 3:
341,322,205 ÷ 3 = 113,774,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,774,068.3333 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 | 341,322,205 | |
| -1 | -341,322,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,322,205 ÷ 4 = 85,330,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,330,551.25 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 | 341,322,205 | |
| -1 | 341,322,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 71 | 355 | 497 | 2,485 | 137,353 | 686,765 | 961,471 | 4,807,355 | 9,752,063 | 48,760,315 | 68,264,441 | 341,322,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -71 | -355 | -497 | -2,485 | -137,353 | -686,765 | -961,471 | -4,807,355 | -9,752,063 | -48,760,315 | -68,264,441 | -341,322,205 |
