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 322,110,553, 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 | 322,110,553 | |
| -1 | -322,110,553 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 322,110,553.
Example:
1 x 322,110,553 = 322,110,553
and
-1 x -322,110,553 = 322,110,553
Notice both answers equal 322,110,553
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 322,110,553 and divide it by 2:
322,110,553 ÷ 2 = 161,055,276.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,055,276.5 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 | 322,110,553 | |
| -1 | -322,110,553 |
Now, we try dividing 322,110,553 by 3:
322,110,553 ÷ 3 = 107,370,184.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,370,184.3333 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 | 322,110,553 | |
| -1 | -322,110,553 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
322,110,553 ÷ 4 = 80,527,638.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,527,638.25 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 | 322,110,553 | |
| -1 | 322,110,553 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 107 | 269 | 361 | 589 | 2,033 | 3,317 | 5,111 | 8,339 | 11,191 | 28,783 | 38,627 | 63,023 | 97,109 | 158,441 | 546,877 | 892,273 | 1,197,437 | 3,010,379 | 10,390,663 | 16,953,187 | 322,110,553 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -107 | -269 | -361 | -589 | -2,033 | -3,317 | -5,111 | -8,339 | -11,191 | -28,783 | -38,627 | -63,023 | -97,109 | -158,441 | -546,877 | -892,273 | -1,197,437 | -3,010,379 | -10,390,663 | -16,953,187 | -322,110,553 |
