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 350,000,161, 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 | 350,000,161 | |
| -1 | -350,000,161 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,000,161.
Example:
1 x 350,000,161 = 350,000,161
and
-1 x -350,000,161 = 350,000,161
Notice both answers equal 350,000,161
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,000,161 and divide it by 2:
350,000,161 ÷ 2 = 175,000,080.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,000,080.5 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 | 350,000,161 | |
| -1 | -350,000,161 |
Now, we try dividing 350,000,161 by 3:
350,000,161 ÷ 3 = 116,666,720.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,666,720.3333 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 | 350,000,161 | |
| -1 | -350,000,161 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,000,161 ÷ 4 = 87,500,040.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,500,040.25 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 | 350,000,161 | |
| -1 | 350,000,161 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 67 | 469 | 661 | 1,129 | 4,627 | 7,903 | 44,287 | 75,643 | 310,009 | 529,501 | 746,269 | 5,223,883 | 50,000,023 | 350,000,161 |
| -1 | -7 | -67 | -469 | -661 | -1,129 | -4,627 | -7,903 | -44,287 | -75,643 | -310,009 | -529,501 | -746,269 | -5,223,883 | -50,000,023 | -350,000,161 |
