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 352,662,761, 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 | 352,662,761 | |
| -1 | -352,662,761 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 352,662,761.
Example:
1 x 352,662,761 = 352,662,761
and
-1 x -352,662,761 = 352,662,761
Notice both answers equal 352,662,761
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 352,662,761 and divide it by 2:
352,662,761 ÷ 2 = 176,331,380.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,331,380.5 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 | 352,662,761 | |
| -1 | -352,662,761 |
Now, we try dividing 352,662,761 by 3:
352,662,761 ÷ 3 = 117,554,253.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,554,253.6667 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 | 352,662,761 | |
| -1 | -352,662,761 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
352,662,761 ÷ 4 = 88,165,690.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,165,690.25 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 | 352,662,761 | |
| -1 | 352,662,761 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 47 | 499 | 517 | 1,367 | 5,489 | 15,037 | 23,453 | 64,249 | 257,983 | 682,133 | 706,739 | 7,503,463 | 32,060,251 | 352,662,761 |
| -1 | -11 | -47 | -499 | -517 | -1,367 | -5,489 | -15,037 | -23,453 | -64,249 | -257,983 | -682,133 | -706,739 | -7,503,463 | -32,060,251 | -352,662,761 |
