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 324,411,035, 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 | 324,411,035 | |
| -1 | -324,411,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 324,411,035.
Example:
1 x 324,411,035 = 324,411,035
and
-1 x -324,411,035 = 324,411,035
Notice both answers equal 324,411,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 324,411,035 and divide it by 2:
324,411,035 ÷ 2 = 162,205,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 162,205,517.5 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 | 324,411,035 | |
| -1 | -324,411,035 |
Now, we try dividing 324,411,035 by 3:
324,411,035 ÷ 3 = 108,137,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 108,137,011.6667 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 | 324,411,035 | |
| -1 | -324,411,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
324,411,035 ÷ 4 = 81,102,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 81,102,758.75 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 | 324,411,035 | |
| -1 | 324,411,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 19 | 65 | 95 | 247 | 1,235 | 262,681 | 1,313,405 | 3,414,853 | 4,990,939 | 17,074,265 | 24,954,695 | 64,882,207 | 324,411,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -19 | -65 | -95 | -247 | -1,235 | -262,681 | -1,313,405 | -3,414,853 | -4,990,939 | -17,074,265 | -24,954,695 | -64,882,207 | -324,411,035 |
