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 353,025,055, 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 | 353,025,055 | |
| -1 | -353,025,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 353,025,055.
Example:
1 x 353,025,055 = 353,025,055
and
-1 x -353,025,055 = 353,025,055
Notice both answers equal 353,025,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 353,025,055 and divide it by 2:
353,025,055 ÷ 2 = 176,512,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,512,527.5 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 | 353,025,055 | |
| -1 | -353,025,055 |
Now, we try dividing 353,025,055 by 3:
353,025,055 ÷ 3 = 117,675,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,675,018.3333 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 | 353,025,055 | |
| -1 | -353,025,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
353,025,055 ÷ 4 = 88,256,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,256,263.75 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 | 353,025,055 | |
| -1 | 353,025,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 43 | 155 | 215 | 1,333 | 6,665 | 52,967 | 264,835 | 1,641,977 | 2,277,581 | 8,209,885 | 11,387,905 | 70,605,011 | 353,025,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -43 | -155 | -215 | -1,333 | -6,665 | -52,967 | -264,835 | -1,641,977 | -2,277,581 | -8,209,885 | -11,387,905 | -70,605,011 | -353,025,055 |
