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 322,552,135, 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 | 322,552,135 | |
| -1 | -322,552,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 322,552,135.
Example:
1 x 322,552,135 = 322,552,135
and
-1 x -322,552,135 = 322,552,135
Notice both answers equal 322,552,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 322,552,135 and divide it by 2:
322,552,135 ÷ 2 = 161,276,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,276,067.5 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 | 322,552,135 | |
| -1 | -322,552,135 |
Now, we try dividing 322,552,135 by 3:
322,552,135 ÷ 3 = 107,517,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,517,378.3333 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 | 322,552,135 | |
| -1 | -322,552,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
322,552,135 ÷ 4 = 80,638,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,638,033.75 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 | 322,552,135 | |
| -1 | 322,552,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 199 | 995 | 3,383 | 16,915 | 19,069 | 95,345 | 324,173 | 1,620,865 | 3,794,731 | 18,973,655 | 64,510,427 | 322,552,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -199 | -995 | -3,383 | -16,915 | -19,069 | -95,345 | -324,173 | -1,620,865 | -3,794,731 | -18,973,655 | -64,510,427 | -322,552,135 |
