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 341,410,403, 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 | 341,410,403 | |
| -1 | -341,410,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,410,403.
Example:
1 x 341,410,403 = 341,410,403
and
-1 x -341,410,403 = 341,410,403
Notice both answers equal 341,410,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,410,403 and divide it by 2:
341,410,403 ÷ 2 = 170,705,201.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,705,201.5 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 | 341,410,403 | |
| -1 | -341,410,403 |
Now, we try dividing 341,410,403 by 3:
341,410,403 ÷ 3 = 113,803,467.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,803,467.6667 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 | 341,410,403 | |
| -1 | -341,410,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,410,403 ÷ 4 = 85,352,600.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,352,600.75 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 | 341,410,403 | |
| -1 | 341,410,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 59 | 113 | 1,249 | 2,419 | 4,633 | 6,667 | 51,209 | 73,691 | 141,137 | 273,347 | 3,021,331 | 5,786,617 | 8,327,083 | 341,410,403 |
| -1 | -41 | -59 | -113 | -1,249 | -2,419 | -4,633 | -6,667 | -51,209 | -73,691 | -141,137 | -273,347 | -3,021,331 | -5,786,617 | -8,327,083 | -341,410,403 |
