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 350,610,005, 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 | 350,610,005 | |
| -1 | -350,610,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 350,610,005.
Example:
1 x 350,610,005 = 350,610,005
and
-1 x -350,610,005 = 350,610,005
Notice both answers equal 350,610,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 350,610,005 and divide it by 2:
350,610,005 ÷ 2 = 175,305,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 175,305,002.5 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 | 350,610,005 | |
| -1 | -350,610,005 |
Now, we try dividing 350,610,005 by 3:
350,610,005 ÷ 3 = 116,870,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 116,870,001.6667 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 | 350,610,005 | |
| -1 | -350,610,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
350,610,005 ÷ 4 = 87,652,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 87,652,501.25 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 | 350,610,005 | |
| -1 | 350,610,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 61 | 305 | 997 | 1,153 | 4,985 | 5,765 | 60,817 | 70,333 | 304,085 | 351,665 | 1,149,541 | 5,747,705 | 70,122,001 | 350,610,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -61 | -305 | -997 | -1,153 | -4,985 | -5,765 | -60,817 | -70,333 | -304,085 | -351,665 | -1,149,541 | -5,747,705 | -70,122,001 | -350,610,005 |
