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 322,006,375, 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 | 322,006,375 | |
| -1 | -322,006,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 322,006,375.
Example:
1 x 322,006,375 = 322,006,375
and
-1 x -322,006,375 = 322,006,375
Notice both answers equal 322,006,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 322,006,375 and divide it by 2:
322,006,375 ÷ 2 = 161,003,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,003,187.5 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 | 322,006,375 | |
| -1 | -322,006,375 |
Now, we try dividing 322,006,375 by 3:
322,006,375 ÷ 3 = 107,335,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,335,458.3333 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 | 322,006,375 | |
| -1 | -322,006,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
322,006,375 ÷ 4 = 80,501,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,501,593.75 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 | 322,006,375 | |
| -1 | 322,006,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 37 | 125 | 185 | 925 | 4,625 | 69,623 | 348,115 | 1,740,575 | 2,576,051 | 8,702,875 | 12,880,255 | 64,401,275 | 322,006,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -37 | -125 | -185 | -925 | -4,625 | -69,623 | -348,115 | -1,740,575 | -2,576,051 | -8,702,875 | -12,880,255 | -64,401,275 | -322,006,375 |
