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 346,031,105, 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 | 346,031,105 | |
| -1 | -346,031,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 346,031,105.
Example:
1 x 346,031,105 = 346,031,105
and
-1 x -346,031,105 = 346,031,105
Notice both answers equal 346,031,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 346,031,105 and divide it by 2:
346,031,105 ÷ 2 = 173,015,552.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 173,015,552.5 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 | 346,031,105 | |
| -1 | -346,031,105 |
Now, we try dividing 346,031,105 by 3:
346,031,105 ÷ 3 = 115,343,701.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 115,343,701.6667 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 | 346,031,105 | |
| -1 | -346,031,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
346,031,105 ÷ 4 = 86,507,776.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,507,776.25 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 | 346,031,105 | |
| -1 | 346,031,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 215 | 301 | 1,505 | 1,849 | 5,347 | 9,245 | 12,943 | 26,735 | 37,429 | 64,715 | 187,145 | 229,921 | 1,149,605 | 1,609,447 | 8,047,235 | 9,886,603 | 49,433,015 | 69,206,221 | 346,031,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -215 | -301 | -1,505 | -1,849 | -5,347 | -9,245 | -12,943 | -26,735 | -37,429 | -64,715 | -187,145 | -229,921 | -1,149,605 | -1,609,447 | -8,047,235 | -9,886,603 | -49,433,015 | -69,206,221 | -346,031,105 |
