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 341,410,999, 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 | 341,410,999 | |
| -1 | -341,410,999 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,410,999.
Example:
1 x 341,410,999 = 341,410,999
and
-1 x -341,410,999 = 341,410,999
Notice both answers equal 341,410,999
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,410,999 and divide it by 2:
341,410,999 ÷ 2 = 170,705,499.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,705,499.5 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 | 341,410,999 | |
| -1 | -341,410,999 |
Now, we try dividing 341,410,999 by 3:
341,410,999 ÷ 3 = 113,803,666.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,803,666.3333 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 | 341,410,999 | |
| -1 | -341,410,999 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,410,999 ÷ 4 = 85,352,749.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,352,749.75 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 | 341,410,999 | |
| -1 | 341,410,999 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 73 | 107 | 109 | 401 | 7,811 | 7,957 | 11,663 | 29,273 | 42,907 | 43,709 | 851,399 | 3,132,211 | 3,190,757 | 4,676,863 | 341,410,999 |
| -1 | -73 | -107 | -109 | -401 | -7,811 | -7,957 | -11,663 | -29,273 | -42,907 | -43,709 | -851,399 | -3,132,211 | -3,190,757 | -4,676,863 | -341,410,999 |
