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 343,341,119, 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 | 343,341,119 | |
| -1 | -343,341,119 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 343,341,119.
Example:
1 x 343,341,119 = 343,341,119
and
-1 x -343,341,119 = 343,341,119
Notice both answers equal 343,341,119
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 343,341,119 and divide it by 2:
343,341,119 ÷ 2 = 171,670,559.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 171,670,559.5 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 | 343,341,119 | |
| -1 | -343,341,119 |
Now, we try dividing 343,341,119 by 3:
343,341,119 ÷ 3 = 114,447,039.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,447,039.6667 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 | 343,341,119 | |
| -1 | -343,341,119 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
343,341,119 ÷ 4 = 85,835,279.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,835,279.75 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 | 343,341,119 | |
| -1 | 343,341,119 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 59 | 73 | 649 | 803 | 4,307 | 7,247 | 47,377 | 79,717 | 427,573 | 529,031 | 4,703,303 | 5,819,341 | 31,212,829 | 343,341,119 |
| -1 | -11 | -59 | -73 | -649 | -803 | -4,307 | -7,247 | -47,377 | -79,717 | -427,573 | -529,031 | -4,703,303 | -5,819,341 | -31,212,829 | -343,341,119 |
