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 350,357,045, 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 | 350,357,045 | |
| -1 | -350,357,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,357,045.
Example:
1 x 350,357,045 = 350,357,045
and
-1 x -350,357,045 = 350,357,045
Notice both answers equal 350,357,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,357,045 and divide it by 2:
350,357,045 ÷ 2 = 175,178,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,178,522.5 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 | 350,357,045 | |
| -1 | -350,357,045 |
Now, we try dividing 350,357,045 by 3:
350,357,045 ÷ 3 = 116,785,681.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,785,681.6667 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 | 350,357,045 | |
| -1 | -350,357,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,357,045 ÷ 4 = 87,589,261.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,589,261.25 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 | 350,357,045 | |
| -1 | 350,357,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 59 | 115 | 295 | 1,357 | 6,785 | 51,637 | 258,185 | 1,187,651 | 3,046,583 | 5,938,255 | 15,232,915 | 70,071,409 | 350,357,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -59 | -115 | -295 | -1,357 | -6,785 | -51,637 | -258,185 | -1,187,651 | -3,046,583 | -5,938,255 | -15,232,915 | -70,071,409 | -350,357,045 |
