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 323,001,203, 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 | 323,001,203 | |
| -1 | -323,001,203 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,001,203.
Example:
1 x 323,001,203 = 323,001,203
and
-1 x -323,001,203 = 323,001,203
Notice both answers equal 323,001,203
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,001,203 and divide it by 2:
323,001,203 ÷ 2 = 161,500,601.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,500,601.5 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 | 323,001,203 | |
| -1 | -323,001,203 |
Now, we try dividing 323,001,203 by 3:
323,001,203 ÷ 3 = 107,667,067.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,667,067.6667 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 | 323,001,203 | |
| -1 | -323,001,203 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,001,203 ÷ 4 = 80,750,300.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,750,300.75 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 | 323,001,203 | |
| -1 | 323,001,203 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 89 | 499 | 623 | 1,039 | 3,493 | 7,273 | 44,411 | 92,471 | 310,877 | 518,461 | 647,297 | 3,629,227 | 46,143,029 | 323,001,203 |
| -1 | -7 | -89 | -499 | -623 | -1,039 | -3,493 | -7,273 | -44,411 | -92,471 | -310,877 | -518,461 | -647,297 | -3,629,227 | -46,143,029 | -323,001,203 |
