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 352,061,563, 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 | 352,061,563 | |
| -1 | -352,061,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,061,563.
Example:
1 x 352,061,563 = 352,061,563
and
-1 x -352,061,563 = 352,061,563
Notice both answers equal 352,061,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,061,563 and divide it by 2:
352,061,563 ÷ 2 = 176,030,781.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,030,781.5 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 | 352,061,563 | |
| -1 | -352,061,563 |
Now, we try dividing 352,061,563 by 3:
352,061,563 ÷ 3 = 117,353,854.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,353,854.3333 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 | 352,061,563 | |
| -1 | -352,061,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,061,563 ÷ 4 = 88,015,390.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,015,390.75 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 | 352,061,563 | |
| -1 | 352,061,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 139 | 371 | 973 | 6,827 | 7,367 | 47,789 | 51,569 | 361,831 | 948,953 | 2,532,817 | 6,642,671 | 50,294,509 | 352,061,563 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -139 | -371 | -973 | -6,827 | -7,367 | -47,789 | -51,569 | -361,831 | -948,953 | -2,532,817 | -6,642,671 | -50,294,509 | -352,061,563 |
