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 350,542,951, 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 | 350,542,951 | |
| -1 | -350,542,951 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,542,951.
Example:
1 x 350,542,951 = 350,542,951
and
-1 x -350,542,951 = 350,542,951
Notice both answers equal 350,542,951
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,542,951 and divide it by 2:
350,542,951 ÷ 2 = 175,271,475.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,271,475.5 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 | 350,542,951 | |
| -1 | -350,542,951 |
Now, we try dividing 350,542,951 by 3:
350,542,951 ÷ 3 = 116,847,650.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,847,650.3333 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 | 350,542,951 | |
| -1 | -350,542,951 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,542,951 ÷ 4 = 87,635,737.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,635,737.75 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 | 350,542,951 | |
| -1 | 350,542,951 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 211 | 2,321 | 4,009 | 7,949 | 44,099 | 87,439 | 151,031 | 1,661,341 | 1,677,239 | 18,449,629 | 31,867,541 | 350,542,951 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -211 | -2,321 | -4,009 | -7,949 | -44,099 | -87,439 | -151,031 | -1,661,341 | -1,677,239 | -18,449,629 | -31,867,541 | -350,542,951 |
