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 323,062,235, 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 | 323,062,235 | |
| -1 | -323,062,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,062,235.
Example:
1 x 323,062,235 = 323,062,235
and
-1 x -323,062,235 = 323,062,235
Notice both answers equal 323,062,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,062,235 and divide it by 2:
323,062,235 ÷ 2 = 161,531,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,531,117.5 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 | 323,062,235 | |
| -1 | -323,062,235 |
Now, we try dividing 323,062,235 by 3:
323,062,235 ÷ 3 = 107,687,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,687,411.6667 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 | 323,062,235 | |
| -1 | -323,062,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,062,235 ÷ 4 = 80,765,558.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,765,558.75 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 | 323,062,235 | |
| -1 | 323,062,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 151 | 449 | 755 | 953 | 2,245 | 4,765 | 67,799 | 143,903 | 338,995 | 427,897 | 719,515 | 2,139,485 | 64,612,447 | 323,062,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -151 | -449 | -755 | -953 | -2,245 | -4,765 | -67,799 | -143,903 | -338,995 | -427,897 | -719,515 | -2,139,485 | -64,612,447 | -323,062,235 |
