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 353,160,511, 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 | 353,160,511 | |
| -1 | -353,160,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 353,160,511.
Example:
1 x 353,160,511 = 353,160,511
and
-1 x -353,160,511 = 353,160,511
Notice both answers equal 353,160,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 353,160,511 and divide it by 2:
353,160,511 ÷ 2 = 176,580,255.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,580,255.5 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 | 353,160,511 | |
| -1 | -353,160,511 |
Now, we try dividing 353,160,511 by 3:
353,160,511 ÷ 3 = 117,720,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,720,170.3333 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 | 353,160,511 | |
| -1 | -353,160,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
353,160,511 ÷ 4 = 88,290,127.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,290,127.75 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 | 353,160,511 | |
| -1 | 353,160,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 283 | 451 | 2,767 | 3,113 | 11,603 | 30,437 | 113,447 | 127,633 | 783,061 | 1,247,917 | 8,613,671 | 32,105,501 | 353,160,511 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -283 | -451 | -2,767 | -3,113 | -11,603 | -30,437 | -113,447 | -127,633 | -783,061 | -1,247,917 | -8,613,671 | -32,105,501 | -353,160,511 |
