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 354,051,005, 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 | 354,051,005 | |
| -1 | -354,051,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 354,051,005.
Example:
1 x 354,051,005 = 354,051,005
and
-1 x -354,051,005 = 354,051,005
Notice both answers equal 354,051,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 354,051,005 and divide it by 2:
354,051,005 ÷ 2 = 177,025,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 177,025,502.5 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 | 354,051,005 | |
| -1 | -354,051,005 |
Now, we try dividing 354,051,005 by 3:
354,051,005 ÷ 3 = 118,017,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 118,017,001.6667 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 | 354,051,005 | |
| -1 | -354,051,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
354,051,005 ÷ 4 = 88,512,751.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,512,751.25 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 | 354,051,005 | |
| -1 | 354,051,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 919,613 | 4,598,065 | 6,437,291 | 10,115,743 | 32,186,455 | 50,578,715 | 70,810,201 | 354,051,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -919,613 | -4,598,065 | -6,437,291 | -10,115,743 | -32,186,455 | -50,578,715 | -70,810,201 | -354,051,005 |
