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 346,722,523, 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 | 346,722,523 | |
| -1 | -346,722,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 346,722,523.
Example:
1 x 346,722,523 = 346,722,523
and
-1 x -346,722,523 = 346,722,523
Notice both answers equal 346,722,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 346,722,523 and divide it by 2:
346,722,523 ÷ 2 = 173,361,261.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 173,361,261.5 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 | 346,722,523 | |
| -1 | -346,722,523 |
Now, we try dividing 346,722,523 by 3:
346,722,523 ÷ 3 = 115,574,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 115,574,174.3333 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 | 346,722,523 | |
| -1 | -346,722,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
346,722,523 ÷ 4 = 86,680,630.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 86,680,630.75 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 | 346,722,523 | |
| -1 | 346,722,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 97 | 259 | 373 | 679 | 1,369 | 2,611 | 3,589 | 9,583 | 13,801 | 25,123 | 36,181 | 96,607 | 132,793 | 253,267 | 510,637 | 929,551 | 1,338,697 | 3,574,459 | 9,370,879 | 49,531,789 | 346,722,523 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -97 | -259 | -373 | -679 | -1,369 | -2,611 | -3,589 | -9,583 | -13,801 | -25,123 | -36,181 | -96,607 | -132,793 | -253,267 | -510,637 | -929,551 | -1,338,697 | -3,574,459 | -9,370,879 | -49,531,789 | -346,722,523 |
