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 352,001,351, 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 | 352,001,351 | |
| -1 | -352,001,351 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,001,351.
Example:
1 x 352,001,351 = 352,001,351
and
-1 x -352,001,351 = 352,001,351
Notice both answers equal 352,001,351
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,001,351 and divide it by 2:
352,001,351 ÷ 2 = 176,000,675.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,000,675.5 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 | 352,001,351 | |
| -1 | -352,001,351 |
Now, we try dividing 352,001,351 by 3:
352,001,351 ÷ 3 = 117,333,783.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,333,783.6667 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 | 352,001,351 | |
| -1 | -352,001,351 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,001,351 ÷ 4 = 88,000,337.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,000,337.75 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 | 352,001,351 | |
| -1 | 352,001,351 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 239 | 277 | 409 | 3,107 | 3,601 | 5,317 | 66,203 | 97,751 | 113,293 | 860,639 | 1,270,763 | 1,472,809 | 27,077,027 | 352,001,351 |
| -1 | -13 | -239 | -277 | -409 | -3,107 | -3,601 | -5,317 | -66,203 | -97,751 | -113,293 | -860,639 | -1,270,763 | -1,472,809 | -27,077,027 | -352,001,351 |
