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 355,050,113, 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 | 355,050,113 | |
| -1 | -355,050,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 355,050,113.
Example:
1 x 355,050,113 = 355,050,113
and
-1 x -355,050,113 = 355,050,113
Notice both answers equal 355,050,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 355,050,113 and divide it by 2:
355,050,113 ÷ 2 = 177,525,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 177,525,056.5 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 | 355,050,113 | |
| -1 | -355,050,113 |
Now, we try dividing 355,050,113 by 3:
355,050,113 ÷ 3 = 118,350,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 118,350,037.6667 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 | 355,050,113 | |
| -1 | -355,050,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
355,050,113 ÷ 4 = 88,762,528.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,762,528.25 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 | 355,050,113 | |
| -1 | 355,050,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 367 | 407 | 2,377 | 4,037 | 13,579 | 26,147 | 87,949 | 149,369 | 872,359 | 967,439 | 9,595,949 | 32,277,283 | 355,050,113 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -367 | -407 | -2,377 | -4,037 | -13,579 | -26,147 | -87,949 | -149,369 | -872,359 | -967,439 | -9,595,949 | -32,277,283 | -355,050,113 |
