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 343,344,035, 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 | 343,344,035 | |
| -1 | -343,344,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 343,344,035.
Example:
1 x 343,344,035 = 343,344,035
and
-1 x -343,344,035 = 343,344,035
Notice both answers equal 343,344,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 343,344,035 and divide it by 2:
343,344,035 ÷ 2 = 171,672,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 171,672,017.5 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 | 343,344,035 | |
| -1 | -343,344,035 |
Now, we try dividing 343,344,035 by 3:
343,344,035 ÷ 3 = 114,448,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,448,011.6667 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 | 343,344,035 | |
| -1 | -343,344,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
343,344,035 ÷ 4 = 85,836,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,836,008.75 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 | 343,344,035 | |
| -1 | 343,344,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 215 | 593 | 2,693 | 2,965 | 13,465 | 25,499 | 115,799 | 127,495 | 578,995 | 1,596,949 | 7,984,745 | 68,668,807 | 343,344,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -215 | -593 | -2,693 | -2,965 | -13,465 | -25,499 | -115,799 | -127,495 | -578,995 | -1,596,949 | -7,984,745 | -68,668,807 | -343,344,035 |
