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 350,517,739, 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 | 350,517,739 | |
| -1 | -350,517,739 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,517,739.
Example:
1 x 350,517,739 = 350,517,739
and
-1 x -350,517,739 = 350,517,739
Notice both answers equal 350,517,739
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,517,739 and divide it by 2:
350,517,739 ÷ 2 = 175,258,869.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,258,869.5 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 | 350,517,739 | |
| -1 | -350,517,739 |
Now, we try dividing 350,517,739 by 3:
350,517,739 ÷ 3 = 116,839,246.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,839,246.3333 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 | 350,517,739 | |
| -1 | -350,517,739 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,517,739 ÷ 4 = 87,629,434.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,629,434.75 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 | 350,517,739 | |
| -1 | 350,517,739 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 277 | 3,047 | 3,601 | 8,849 | 39,611 | 97,339 | 115,037 | 1,265,407 | 2,451,173 | 26,962,903 | 31,865,249 | 350,517,739 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -277 | -3,047 | -3,601 | -8,849 | -39,611 | -97,339 | -115,037 | -1,265,407 | -2,451,173 | -26,962,903 | -31,865,249 | -350,517,739 |
