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 343,201,433, 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 | 343,201,433 | |
| -1 | -343,201,433 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 343,201,433.
Example:
1 x 343,201,433 = 343,201,433
and
-1 x -343,201,433 = 343,201,433
Notice both answers equal 343,201,433
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 343,201,433 and divide it by 2:
343,201,433 ÷ 2 = 171,600,716.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 171,600,716.5 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 | 343,201,433 | |
| -1 | -343,201,433 |
Now, we try dividing 343,201,433 by 3:
343,201,433 ÷ 3 = 114,400,477.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,400,477.6667 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 | 343,201,433 | |
| -1 | -343,201,433 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
343,201,433 ÷ 4 = 85,800,358.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,800,358.25 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 | 343,201,433 | |
| -1 | 343,201,433 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 61 | 71 | 109 | 727 | 4,331 | 6,649 | 7,739 | 44,347 | 51,617 | 79,243 | 472,079 | 3,148,637 | 4,833,823 | 5,626,253 | 343,201,433 |
| -1 | -61 | -71 | -109 | -727 | -4,331 | -6,649 | -7,739 | -44,347 | -51,617 | -79,243 | -472,079 | -3,148,637 | -4,833,823 | -5,626,253 | -343,201,433 |
