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 353,332,499, 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 | 353,332,499 | |
| -1 | -353,332,499 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 353,332,499.
Example:
1 x 353,332,499 = 353,332,499
and
-1 x -353,332,499 = 353,332,499
Notice both answers equal 353,332,499
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 353,332,499 and divide it by 2:
353,332,499 ÷ 2 = 176,666,249.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 176,666,249.5 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 | 353,332,499 | |
| -1 | -353,332,499 |
Now, we try dividing 353,332,499 by 3:
353,332,499 ÷ 3 = 117,777,499.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 117,777,499.6667 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 | 353,332,499 | |
| -1 | -353,332,499 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
353,332,499 ÷ 4 = 88,333,124.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,333,124.75 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 | 353,332,499 | |
| -1 | 353,332,499 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 481 | 569 | 1,291 | 7,397 | 16,783 | 21,053 | 47,767 | 273,689 | 620,971 | 734,579 | 9,549,527 | 27,179,423 | 353,332,499 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -481 | -569 | -1,291 | -7,397 | -16,783 | -21,053 | -47,767 | -273,689 | -620,971 | -734,579 | -9,549,527 | -27,179,423 | -353,332,499 |
