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 350,345,741, 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 | 350,345,741 | |
| -1 | -350,345,741 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,345,741.
Example:
1 x 350,345,741 = 350,345,741
and
-1 x -350,345,741 = 350,345,741
Notice both answers equal 350,345,741
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,345,741 and divide it by 2:
350,345,741 ÷ 2 = 175,172,870.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,172,870.5 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 | 350,345,741 | |
| -1 | -350,345,741 |
Now, we try dividing 350,345,741 by 3:
350,345,741 ÷ 3 = 116,781,913.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,781,913.6667 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 | 350,345,741 | |
| -1 | -350,345,741 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,345,741 ÷ 4 = 87,586,435.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,586,435.25 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 | 350,345,741 | |
| -1 | 350,345,741 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 53 | 89 | 257 | 289 | 901 | 1,513 | 4,369 | 4,717 | 13,621 | 15,317 | 22,873 | 25,721 | 74,273 | 80,189 | 231,557 | 388,841 | 1,212,269 | 1,363,213 | 3,936,469 | 6,610,297 | 20,608,573 | 350,345,741 |
| -1 | -17 | -53 | -89 | -257 | -289 | -901 | -1,513 | -4,369 | -4,717 | -13,621 | -15,317 | -22,873 | -25,721 | -74,273 | -80,189 | -231,557 | -388,841 | -1,212,269 | -1,363,213 | -3,936,469 | -6,610,297 | -20,608,573 | -350,345,741 |
