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 344,134,033, 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 | 344,134,033 | |
| -1 | -344,134,033 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 344,134,033.
Example:
1 x 344,134,033 = 344,134,033
and
-1 x -344,134,033 = 344,134,033
Notice both answers equal 344,134,033
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 344,134,033 and divide it by 2:
344,134,033 ÷ 2 = 172,067,016.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 172,067,016.5 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 | 344,134,033 | |
| -1 | -344,134,033 |
Now, we try dividing 344,134,033 by 3:
344,134,033 ÷ 3 = 114,711,344.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,711,344.3333 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 | 344,134,033 | |
| -1 | -344,134,033 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
344,134,033 ÷ 4 = 86,033,508.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,033,508.25 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 | 344,134,033 | |
| -1 | 344,134,033 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 79 | 181 | 587 | 3,239 | 7,421 | 14,299 | 24,067 | 46,373 | 106,247 | 586,259 | 1,901,293 | 4,356,127 | 8,393,513 | 344,134,033 |
| -1 | -41 | -79 | -181 | -587 | -3,239 | -7,421 | -14,299 | -24,067 | -46,373 | -106,247 | -586,259 | -1,901,293 | -4,356,127 | -8,393,513 | -344,134,033 |
