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 343,360,633, 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 | 343,360,633 | |
| -1 | -343,360,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 343,360,633.
Example:
1 x 343,360,633 = 343,360,633
and
-1 x -343,360,633 = 343,360,633
Notice both answers equal 343,360,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 343,360,633 and divide it by 2:
343,360,633 ÷ 2 = 171,680,316.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 171,680,316.5 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 | 343,360,633 | |
| -1 | -343,360,633 |
Now, we try dividing 343,360,633 by 3:
343,360,633 ÷ 3 = 114,453,544.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,453,544.3333 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 | 343,360,633 | |
| -1 | -343,360,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
343,360,633 ÷ 4 = 85,840,158.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,840,158.25 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 | 343,360,633 | |
| -1 | 343,360,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 43 | 77 | 301 | 473 | 3,311 | 103,703 | 725,921 | 1,140,733 | 4,459,229 | 7,985,131 | 31,214,603 | 49,051,519 | 343,360,633 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -43 | -77 | -301 | -473 | -3,311 | -103,703 | -725,921 | -1,140,733 | -4,459,229 | -7,985,131 | -31,214,603 | -49,051,519 | -343,360,633 |
