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 323,102,129, 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 | 323,102,129 | |
| -1 | -323,102,129 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,102,129.
Example:
1 x 323,102,129 = 323,102,129
and
-1 x -323,102,129 = 323,102,129
Notice both answers equal 323,102,129
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,102,129 and divide it by 2:
323,102,129 ÷ 2 = 161,551,064.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,551,064.5 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 | 323,102,129 | |
| -1 | -323,102,129 |
Now, we try dividing 323,102,129 by 3:
323,102,129 ÷ 3 = 107,700,709.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,700,709.6667 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 | 323,102,129 | |
| -1 | -323,102,129 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,102,129 ÷ 4 = 80,775,532.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,775,532.25 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 | 323,102,129 | |
| -1 | 323,102,129 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 49 | 89 | 301 | 623 | 1,723 | 2,107 | 3,827 | 4,361 | 12,061 | 26,789 | 74,089 | 84,427 | 153,347 | 187,523 | 518,623 | 1,073,429 | 3,630,361 | 6,593,921 | 7,514,003 | 46,157,447 | 323,102,129 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -49 | -89 | -301 | -623 | -1,723 | -2,107 | -3,827 | -4,361 | -12,061 | -26,789 | -74,089 | -84,427 | -153,347 | -187,523 | -518,623 | -1,073,429 | -3,630,361 | -6,593,921 | -7,514,003 | -46,157,447 | -323,102,129 |
