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 323,757,035, 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 | 323,757,035 | |
| -1 | -323,757,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 323,757,035.
Example:
1 x 323,757,035 = 323,757,035
and
-1 x -323,757,035 = 323,757,035
Notice both answers equal 323,757,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 323,757,035 and divide it by 2:
323,757,035 ÷ 2 = 161,878,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 161,878,517.5 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 | 323,757,035 | |
| -1 | -323,757,035 |
Now, we try dividing 323,757,035 by 3:
323,757,035 ÷ 3 = 107,919,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 107,919,011.6667 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 | 323,757,035 | |
| -1 | -323,757,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
323,757,035 ÷ 4 = 80,939,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 80,939,258.75 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 | 323,757,035 | |
| -1 | 323,757,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 257 | 1,285 | 1,799 | 8,995 | 35,993 | 179,965 | 251,951 | 1,259,755 | 9,250,201 | 46,251,005 | 64,751,407 | 323,757,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -257 | -1,285 | -1,799 | -8,995 | -35,993 | -179,965 | -251,951 | -1,259,755 | -9,250,201 | -46,251,005 | -64,751,407 | -323,757,035 |
