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 346,373,755, 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 | 346,373,755 | |
| -1 | -346,373,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 346,373,755.
Example:
1 x 346,373,755 = 346,373,755
and
-1 x -346,373,755 = 346,373,755
Notice both answers equal 346,373,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 346,373,755 and divide it by 2:
346,373,755 ÷ 2 = 173,186,877.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 173,186,877.5 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 | 346,373,755 | |
| -1 | -346,373,755 |
Now, we try dividing 346,373,755 by 3:
346,373,755 ÷ 3 = 115,457,918.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 115,457,918.3333 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 | 346,373,755 | |
| -1 | -346,373,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
346,373,755 ÷ 4 = 86,593,438.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,593,438.75 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 | 346,373,755 | |
| -1 | 346,373,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 761,261 | 3,806,305 | 5,328,827 | 9,896,393 | 26,644,135 | 49,481,965 | 69,274,751 | 346,373,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -761,261 | -3,806,305 | -5,328,827 | -9,896,393 | -26,644,135 | -49,481,965 | -69,274,751 | -346,373,755 |
