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 341,341,403, 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 | 341,341,403 | |
| -1 | -341,341,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,341,403.
Example:
1 x 341,341,403 = 341,341,403
and
-1 x -341,341,403 = 341,341,403
Notice both answers equal 341,341,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,341,403 and divide it by 2:
341,341,403 ÷ 2 = 170,670,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,670,701.5 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 | 341,341,403 | |
| -1 | -341,341,403 |
Now, we try dividing 341,341,403 by 3:
341,341,403 ÷ 3 = 113,780,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,780,467.6667 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 | 341,341,403 | |
| -1 | -341,341,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,341,403 ÷ 4 = 85,335,350.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,335,350.75 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 | 341,341,403 | |
| -1 | 341,341,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 31 | 247 | 403 | 589 | 7,657 | 44,579 | 579,527 | 847,001 | 1,381,949 | 11,011,013 | 17,965,337 | 26,257,031 | 341,341,403 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -31 | -247 | -403 | -589 | -7,657 | -44,579 | -579,527 | -847,001 | -1,381,949 | -11,011,013 | -17,965,337 | -26,257,031 | -341,341,403 |
