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 322,222,045, 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 | 322,222,045 | |
| -1 | -322,222,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 322,222,045.
Example:
1 x 322,222,045 = 322,222,045
and
-1 x -322,222,045 = 322,222,045
Notice both answers equal 322,222,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 322,222,045 and divide it by 2:
322,222,045 ÷ 2 = 161,111,022.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,111,022.5 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 | 322,222,045 | |
| -1 | -322,222,045 |
Now, we try dividing 322,222,045 by 3:
322,222,045 ÷ 3 = 107,407,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,407,348.3333 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 | 322,222,045 | |
| -1 | -322,222,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
322,222,045 ÷ 4 = 80,555,511.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,555,511.25 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 | 322,222,045 | |
| -1 | 322,222,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 29 | 95 | 145 | 551 | 2,755 | 116,959 | 584,795 | 2,222,221 | 3,391,811 | 11,111,105 | 16,959,055 | 64,444,409 | 322,222,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -29 | -95 | -145 | -551 | -2,755 | -116,959 | -584,795 | -2,222,221 | -3,391,811 | -11,111,105 | -16,959,055 | -64,444,409 | -322,222,045 |
