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 345,323,005, 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 | 345,323,005 | |
| -1 | -345,323,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 345,323,005.
Example:
1 x 345,323,005 = 345,323,005
and
-1 x -345,323,005 = 345,323,005
Notice both answers equal 345,323,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 345,323,005 and divide it by 2:
345,323,005 ÷ 2 = 172,661,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 172,661,502.5 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 | 345,323,005 | |
| -1 | -345,323,005 |
Now, we try dividing 345,323,005 by 3:
345,323,005 ÷ 3 = 115,107,668.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 115,107,668.3333 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 | 345,323,005 | |
| -1 | -345,323,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
345,323,005 ÷ 4 = 86,330,751.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,330,751.25 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 | 345,323,005 | |
| -1 | 345,323,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 541 | 2,705 | 6,719 | 10,279 | 33,595 | 51,395 | 127,661 | 638,305 | 3,634,979 | 18,174,895 | 69,064,601 | 345,323,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -541 | -2,705 | -6,719 | -10,279 | -33,595 | -51,395 | -127,661 | -638,305 | -3,634,979 | -18,174,895 | -69,064,601 | -345,323,005 |
