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 350,522,051, 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 | 350,522,051 | |
| -1 | -350,522,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,522,051.
Example:
1 x 350,522,051 = 350,522,051
and
-1 x -350,522,051 = 350,522,051
Notice both answers equal 350,522,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,522,051 and divide it by 2:
350,522,051 ÷ 2 = 175,261,025.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,261,025.5 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 | 350,522,051 | |
| -1 | -350,522,051 |
Now, we try dividing 350,522,051 by 3:
350,522,051 ÷ 3 = 116,840,683.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,840,683.6667 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 | 350,522,051 | |
| -1 | -350,522,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,522,051 ÷ 4 = 87,630,512.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,630,512.75 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 | 350,522,051 | |
| -1 | 350,522,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 499 | 3,361 | 5,489 | 9,481 | 36,971 | 63,859 | 104,291 | 702,449 | 1,677,139 | 18,448,529 | 31,865,641 | 350,522,051 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -499 | -3,361 | -5,489 | -9,481 | -36,971 | -63,859 | -104,291 | -702,449 | -1,677,139 | -18,448,529 | -31,865,641 | -350,522,051 |
