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 352,412,567, 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 | 352,412,567 | |
| -1 | -352,412,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,412,567.
Example:
1 x 352,412,567 = 352,412,567
and
-1 x -352,412,567 = 352,412,567
Notice both answers equal 352,412,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,412,567 and divide it by 2:
352,412,567 ÷ 2 = 176,206,283.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,206,283.5 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 | 352,412,567 | |
| -1 | -352,412,567 |
Now, we try dividing 352,412,567 by 3:
352,412,567 ÷ 3 = 117,470,855.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,470,855.6667 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 | 352,412,567 | |
| -1 | -352,412,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,412,567 ÷ 4 = 88,103,141.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,103,141.75 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 | 352,412,567 | |
| -1 | 352,412,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 221 | 523 | 3,049 | 6,799 | 8,891 | 39,637 | 51,833 | 115,583 | 673,829 | 1,594,627 | 20,730,151 | 27,108,659 | 352,412,567 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -221 | -523 | -3,049 | -6,799 | -8,891 | -39,637 | -51,833 | -115,583 | -673,829 | -1,594,627 | -20,730,151 | -27,108,659 | -352,412,567 |
