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 323,733,713, 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 | 323,733,713 | |
| -1 | -323,733,713 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,733,713.
Example:
1 x 323,733,713 = 323,733,713
and
-1 x -323,733,713 = 323,733,713
Notice both answers equal 323,733,713
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,733,713 and divide it by 2:
323,733,713 ÷ 2 = 161,866,856.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,866,856.5 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 | 323,733,713 | |
| -1 | -323,733,713 |
Now, we try dividing 323,733,713 by 3:
323,733,713 ÷ 3 = 107,911,237.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,911,237.6667 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 | 323,733,713 | |
| -1 | -323,733,713 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,733,713 ÷ 4 = 80,933,428.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,933,428.25 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 | 323,733,713 | |
| -1 | 323,733,713 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 43 | 211 | 1,151 | 1,333 | 6,541 | 9,073 | 35,681 | 49,493 | 242,861 | 281,263 | 1,534,283 | 7,528,691 | 10,443,023 | 323,733,713 |
| -1 | -31 | -43 | -211 | -1,151 | -1,333 | -6,541 | -9,073 | -35,681 | -49,493 | -242,861 | -281,263 | -1,534,283 | -7,528,691 | -10,443,023 | -323,733,713 |
