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 341,412,313, 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 | 341,412,313 | |
| -1 | -341,412,313 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,412,313.
Example:
1 x 341,412,313 = 341,412,313
and
-1 x -341,412,313 = 341,412,313
Notice both answers equal 341,412,313
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,412,313 and divide it by 2:
341,412,313 ÷ 2 = 170,706,156.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,706,156.5 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 | 341,412,313 | |
| -1 | -341,412,313 |
Now, we try dividing 341,412,313 by 3:
341,412,313 ÷ 3 = 113,804,104.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,804,104.3333 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 | 341,412,313 | |
| -1 | -341,412,313 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,412,313 ÷ 4 = 85,353,078.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,353,078.25 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 | 341,412,313 | |
| -1 | 341,412,313 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 73 | 227 | 803 | 1,873 | 2,497 | 16,571 | 20,603 | 136,729 | 182,281 | 425,171 | 1,504,019 | 4,676,881 | 31,037,483 | 341,412,313 |
| -1 | -11 | -73 | -227 | -803 | -1,873 | -2,497 | -16,571 | -20,603 | -136,729 | -182,281 | -425,171 | -1,504,019 | -4,676,881 | -31,037,483 | -341,412,313 |
