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 352,554,205, 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 | 352,554,205 | |
| -1 | -352,554,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,554,205.
Example:
1 x 352,554,205 = 352,554,205
and
-1 x -352,554,205 = 352,554,205
Notice both answers equal 352,554,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,554,205 and divide it by 2:
352,554,205 ÷ 2 = 176,277,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,277,102.5 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 | 352,554,205 | |
| -1 | -352,554,205 |
Now, we try dividing 352,554,205 by 3:
352,554,205 ÷ 3 = 117,518,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,518,068.3333 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 | 352,554,205 | |
| -1 | -352,554,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,554,205 ÷ 4 = 88,138,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,138,551.25 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 | 352,554,205 | |
| -1 | 352,554,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 59 | 215 | 295 | 2,537 | 12,685 | 27,793 | 138,965 | 1,195,099 | 1,639,787 | 5,975,495 | 8,198,935 | 70,510,841 | 352,554,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -59 | -215 | -295 | -2,537 | -12,685 | -27,793 | -138,965 | -1,195,099 | -1,639,787 | -5,975,495 | -8,198,935 | -70,510,841 | -352,554,205 |
