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 323,402,441, 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 | 323,402,441 | |
| -1 | -323,402,441 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,402,441.
Example:
1 x 323,402,441 = 323,402,441
and
-1 x -323,402,441 = 323,402,441
Notice both answers equal 323,402,441
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,402,441 and divide it by 2:
323,402,441 ÷ 2 = 161,701,220.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,701,220.5 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 | 323,402,441 | |
| -1 | -323,402,441 |
Now, we try dividing 323,402,441 by 3:
323,402,441 ÷ 3 = 107,800,813.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,800,813.6667 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 | 323,402,441 | |
| -1 | -323,402,441 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,402,441 ÷ 4 = 80,850,610.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,850,610.25 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 | 323,402,441 | |
| -1 | 323,402,441 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 47 | 731 | 799 | 2,021 | 9,413 | 34,357 | 160,021 | 404,759 | 442,411 | 6,880,903 | 7,520,987 | 19,023,673 | 323,402,441 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -47 | -731 | -799 | -2,021 | -9,413 | -34,357 | -160,021 | -404,759 | -442,411 | -6,880,903 | -7,520,987 | -19,023,673 | -323,402,441 |
