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 346,455,655, 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 | 346,455,655 | |
| -1 | -346,455,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 346,455,655.
Example:
1 x 346,455,655 = 346,455,655
and
-1 x -346,455,655 = 346,455,655
Notice both answers equal 346,455,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 346,455,655 and divide it by 2:
346,455,655 ÷ 2 = 173,227,827.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 173,227,827.5 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 | 346,455,655 | |
| -1 | -346,455,655 |
Now, we try dividing 346,455,655 by 3:
346,455,655 ÷ 3 = 115,485,218.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 115,485,218.3333 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 | 346,455,655 | |
| -1 | -346,455,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
346,455,655 ÷ 4 = 86,613,913.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,613,913.75 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 | 346,455,655 | |
| -1 | 346,455,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 761,441 | 3,807,205 | 5,330,087 | 9,898,733 | 26,650,435 | 49,493,665 | 69,291,131 | 346,455,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -761,441 | -3,807,205 | -5,330,087 | -9,898,733 | -26,650,435 | -49,493,665 | -69,291,131 | -346,455,655 |
