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 354,064,183, 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 | 354,064,183 | |
| -1 | -354,064,183 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 354,064,183.
Example:
1 x 354,064,183 = 354,064,183
and
-1 x -354,064,183 = 354,064,183
Notice both answers equal 354,064,183
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 354,064,183 and divide it by 2:
354,064,183 ÷ 2 = 177,032,091.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 177,032,091.5 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 | 354,064,183 | |
| -1 | -354,064,183 |
Now, we try dividing 354,064,183 by 3:
354,064,183 ÷ 3 = 118,021,394.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 118,021,394.3333 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 | 354,064,183 | |
| -1 | -354,064,183 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
354,064,183 ÷ 4 = 88,516,045.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,516,045.75 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 | 354,064,183 | |
| -1 | 354,064,183 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 199 | 209 | 2,189 | 3,781 | 8,513 | 41,591 | 93,643 | 161,747 | 1,694,087 | 1,779,217 | 18,634,957 | 32,187,653 | 354,064,183 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -199 | -209 | -2,189 | -3,781 | -8,513 | -41,591 | -93,643 | -161,747 | -1,694,087 | -1,779,217 | -18,634,957 | -32,187,653 | -354,064,183 |
