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 353,077,435, 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 | 353,077,435 | |
| -1 | -353,077,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 353,077,435.
Example:
1 x 353,077,435 = 353,077,435
and
-1 x -353,077,435 = 353,077,435
Notice both answers equal 353,077,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 353,077,435 and divide it by 2:
353,077,435 ÷ 2 = 176,538,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,538,717.5 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 | 353,077,435 | |
| -1 | -353,077,435 |
Now, we try dividing 353,077,435 by 3:
353,077,435 ÷ 3 = 117,692,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,692,478.3333 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 | 353,077,435 | |
| -1 | -353,077,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
353,077,435 ÷ 4 = 88,269,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,269,358.75 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 | 353,077,435 | |
| -1 | 353,077,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 83 | 415 | 487 | 1,747 | 2,435 | 8,735 | 40,421 | 145,001 | 202,105 | 725,005 | 850,789 | 4,253,945 | 70,615,487 | 353,077,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -83 | -415 | -487 | -1,747 | -2,435 | -8,735 | -40,421 | -145,001 | -202,105 | -725,005 | -850,789 | -4,253,945 | -70,615,487 | -353,077,435 |
