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 350,151,529, 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 | 350,151,529 | |
| -1 | -350,151,529 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,151,529.
Example:
1 x 350,151,529 = 350,151,529
and
-1 x -350,151,529 = 350,151,529
Notice both answers equal 350,151,529
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,151,529 and divide it by 2:
350,151,529 ÷ 2 = 175,075,764.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,075,764.5 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 | 350,151,529 | |
| -1 | -350,151,529 |
Now, we try dividing 350,151,529 by 3:
350,151,529 ÷ 3 = 116,717,176.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,717,176.3333 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 | 350,151,529 | |
| -1 | -350,151,529 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,151,529 ÷ 4 = 87,537,882.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,537,882.25 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 | 350,151,529 | |
| -1 | 350,151,529 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 61 | 91 | 427 | 793 | 5,551 | 63,079 | 441,553 | 820,027 | 3,847,819 | 5,740,189 | 26,934,733 | 50,021,647 | 350,151,529 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -61 | -91 | -427 | -793 | -5,551 | -63,079 | -441,553 | -820,027 | -3,847,819 | -5,740,189 | -26,934,733 | -50,021,647 | -350,151,529 |
