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 343,442,005, 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 | 343,442,005 | |
| -1 | -343,442,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 343,442,005.
Example:
1 x 343,442,005 = 343,442,005
and
-1 x -343,442,005 = 343,442,005
Notice both answers equal 343,442,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 343,442,005 and divide it by 2:
343,442,005 ÷ 2 = 171,721,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 171,721,002.5 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 | 343,442,005 | |
| -1 | -343,442,005 |
Now, we try dividing 343,442,005 by 3:
343,442,005 ÷ 3 = 114,480,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,480,668.3333 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 | 343,442,005 | |
| -1 | -343,442,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
343,442,005 ÷ 4 = 85,860,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,860,501.25 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 | 343,442,005 | |
| -1 | 343,442,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 73 | 95 | 365 | 1,387 | 6,935 | 49,523 | 247,615 | 940,937 | 3,615,179 | 4,704,685 | 18,075,895 | 68,688,401 | 343,442,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -73 | -95 | -365 | -1,387 | -6,935 | -49,523 | -247,615 | -940,937 | -3,615,179 | -4,704,685 | -18,075,895 | -68,688,401 | -343,442,005 |
