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 350,125,237, 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 | 350,125,237 | |
| -1 | -350,125,237 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,125,237.
Example:
1 x 350,125,237 = 350,125,237
and
-1 x -350,125,237 = 350,125,237
Notice both answers equal 350,125,237
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,125,237 and divide it by 2:
350,125,237 ÷ 2 = 175,062,618.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,062,618.5 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 | 350,125,237 | |
| -1 | -350,125,237 |
Now, we try dividing 350,125,237 by 3:
350,125,237 ÷ 3 = 116,708,412.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,708,412.3333 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 | 350,125,237 | |
| -1 | -350,125,237 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,125,237 ÷ 4 = 87,531,309.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,531,309.25 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 | 350,125,237 | |
| -1 | 350,125,237 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 49 | 77 | 121 | 539 | 847 | 5,929 | 59,053 | 413,371 | 649,583 | 2,893,597 | 4,547,081 | 7,145,413 | 31,829,567 | 50,017,891 | 350,125,237 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -49 | -77 | -121 | -539 | -847 | -5,929 | -59,053 | -413,371 | -649,583 | -2,893,597 | -4,547,081 | -7,145,413 | -31,829,567 | -50,017,891 | -350,125,237 |
