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 302,324,333, 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 | 302,324,333 | |
| -1 | -302,324,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 302,324,333.
Example:
1 x 302,324,333 = 302,324,333
and
-1 x -302,324,333 = 302,324,333
Notice both answers equal 302,324,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 302,324,333 and divide it by 2:
302,324,333 ÷ 2 = 151,162,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 151,162,166.5 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 | 302,324,333 | |
| -1 | -302,324,333 |
Now, we try dividing 302,324,333 by 3:
302,324,333 ÷ 3 = 100,774,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 100,774,777.6667 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 | 302,324,333 | |
| -1 | -302,324,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
302,324,333 ÷ 4 = 75,581,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 75,581,083.25 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 | 302,324,333 | |
| -1 | 302,324,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 373 | 551 | 1,471 | 7,087 | 10,817 | 27,949 | 42,659 | 205,523 | 548,683 | 810,521 | 10,424,977 | 15,911,807 | 302,324,333 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -373 | -551 | -1,471 | -7,087 | -10,817 | -27,949 | -42,659 | -205,523 | -548,683 | -810,521 | -10,424,977 | -15,911,807 | -302,324,333 |
