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 352,142,065, 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 | 352,142,065 | |
| -1 | -352,142,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,142,065.
Example:
1 x 352,142,065 = 352,142,065
and
-1 x -352,142,065 = 352,142,065
Notice both answers equal 352,142,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,142,065 and divide it by 2:
352,142,065 ÷ 2 = 176,071,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,071,032.5 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 | 352,142,065 | |
| -1 | -352,142,065 |
Now, we try dividing 352,142,065 by 3:
352,142,065 ÷ 3 = 117,380,688.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,380,688.3333 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 | 352,142,065 | |
| -1 | -352,142,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,142,065 ÷ 4 = 88,035,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,035,516.25 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 | 352,142,065 | |
| -1 | 352,142,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 103 | 121 | 515 | 605 | 1,133 | 5,651 | 5,665 | 12,463 | 28,255 | 62,161 | 62,315 | 310,805 | 582,053 | 683,771 | 2,910,265 | 3,418,855 | 6,402,583 | 32,012,915 | 70,428,413 | 352,142,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -103 | -121 | -515 | -605 | -1,133 | -5,651 | -5,665 | -12,463 | -28,255 | -62,161 | -62,315 | -310,805 | -582,053 | -683,771 | -2,910,265 | -3,418,855 | -6,402,583 | -32,012,915 | -70,428,413 | -352,142,065 |
