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 357,356,167, 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 | 357,356,167 | |
| -1 | -357,356,167 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 357,356,167.
Example:
1 x 357,356,167 = 357,356,167
and
-1 x -357,356,167 = 357,356,167
Notice both answers equal 357,356,167
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 357,356,167 and divide it by 2:
357,356,167 ÷ 2 = 178,678,083.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 178,678,083.5 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 | 357,356,167 | |
| -1 | -357,356,167 |
Now, we try dividing 357,356,167 by 3:
357,356,167 ÷ 3 = 119,118,722.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 119,118,722.3333 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 | 357,356,167 | |
| -1 | -357,356,167 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
357,356,167 ÷ 4 = 89,339,041.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 89,339,041.75 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 | 357,356,167 | |
| -1 | 357,356,167 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 119 | 421 | 833 | 1,019 | 2,947 | 7,133 | 7,157 | 17,323 | 20,629 | 49,931 | 50,099 | 121,261 | 350,693 | 428,999 | 848,827 | 3,002,993 | 7,292,983 | 21,020,951 | 51,050,881 | 357,356,167 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -119 | -421 | -833 | -1,019 | -2,947 | -7,133 | -7,157 | -17,323 | -20,629 | -49,931 | -50,099 | -121,261 | -350,693 | -428,999 | -848,827 | -3,002,993 | -7,292,983 | -21,020,951 | -51,050,881 | -357,356,167 |
