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 344,137,375, 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 | 344,137,375 | |
| -1 | -344,137,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 344,137,375.
Example:
1 x 344,137,375 = 344,137,375
and
-1 x -344,137,375 = 344,137,375
Notice both answers equal 344,137,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 344,137,375 and divide it by 2:
344,137,375 ÷ 2 = 172,068,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 172,068,687.5 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 | 344,137,375 | |
| -1 | -344,137,375 |
Now, we try dividing 344,137,375 by 3:
344,137,375 ÷ 3 = 114,712,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 114,712,458.3333 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 | 344,137,375 | |
| -1 | -344,137,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
344,137,375 ÷ 4 = 86,034,343.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,034,343.75 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 | 344,137,375 | |
| -1 | 344,137,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 125 | 425 | 2,125 | 161,947 | 809,735 | 2,753,099 | 4,048,675 | 13,765,495 | 20,243,375 | 68,827,475 | 344,137,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -125 | -425 | -2,125 | -161,947 | -809,735 | -2,753,099 | -4,048,675 | -13,765,495 | -20,243,375 | -68,827,475 | -344,137,375 |
