How do I find the factor combinations of the number 322,602,852?

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 322,602,852, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 322,602,852
-1 -322,602,852

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 322,602,852.

Example:
1 x 322,602,852 = 322,602,852
and
-1 x -322,602,852 = 322,602,852
Notice both answers equal 322,602,852

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 322,602,852 and divide it by 2:

322,602,852 ÷ 2 = 161,301,426

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,301,426 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 161,301,426 322,602,852
-1 -2 -161,301,426 -322,602,852

Now, we try dividing 322,602,852 by 3:

322,602,852 ÷ 3 = 107,534,284

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,534,284 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 107,534,284 161,301,426 322,602,852
-1 -2 -3 -107,534,284 -161,301,426 -322,602,852

Let's try dividing by 4:

322,602,852 ÷ 4 = 80,650,713

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,650,713 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 80,650,713 107,534,284 161,301,426 322,602,852
-1 -2 -3 -4 -80,650,713 -107,534,284 -161,301,426 322,602,852
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
