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 352,344,499, 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 | 352,344,499 | |
| -1 | -352,344,499 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,344,499.
Example:
1 x 352,344,499 = 352,344,499
and
-1 x -352,344,499 = 352,344,499
Notice both answers equal 352,344,499
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,344,499 and divide it by 2:
352,344,499 ÷ 2 = 176,172,249.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,172,249.5 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 | 352,344,499 | |
| -1 | -352,344,499 |
Now, we try dividing 352,344,499 by 3:
352,344,499 ÷ 3 = 117,448,166.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,448,166.3333 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 | 352,344,499 | |
| -1 | -352,344,499 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,344,499 ÷ 4 = 88,086,124.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,086,124.75 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 | 352,344,499 | |
| -1 | 352,344,499 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 221 | 359 | 4,441 | 4,667 | 6,103 | 57,733 | 75,497 | 79,339 | 981,461 | 1,594,319 | 20,726,147 | 27,103,423 | 352,344,499 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -221 | -359 | -4,441 | -4,667 | -6,103 | -57,733 | -75,497 | -79,339 | -981,461 | -1,594,319 | -20,726,147 | -27,103,423 | -352,344,499 |
