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 352,158,205, 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 | 352,158,205 | |
| -1 | -352,158,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,158,205.
Example:
1 x 352,158,205 = 352,158,205
and
-1 x -352,158,205 = 352,158,205
Notice both answers equal 352,158,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,158,205 and divide it by 2:
352,158,205 ÷ 2 = 176,079,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,079,102.5 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 | 352,158,205 | |
| -1 | -352,158,205 |
Now, we try dividing 352,158,205 by 3:
352,158,205 ÷ 3 = 117,386,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,386,068.3333 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 | 352,158,205 | |
| -1 | -352,158,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,158,205 ÷ 4 = 88,039,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,039,551.25 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 | 352,158,205 | |
| -1 | 352,158,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 73 | 365 | 511 | 2,555 | 137,831 | 689,155 | 964,817 | 4,824,085 | 10,061,663 | 50,308,315 | 70,431,641 | 352,158,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -73 | -365 | -511 | -2,555 | -137,831 | -689,155 | -964,817 | -4,824,085 | -10,061,663 | -50,308,315 | -70,431,641 | -352,158,205 |
