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 325,364,743, 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 | 325,364,743 | |
| -1 | -325,364,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 325,364,743.
Example:
1 x 325,364,743 = 325,364,743
and
-1 x -325,364,743 = 325,364,743
Notice both answers equal 325,364,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 325,364,743 and divide it by 2:
325,364,743 ÷ 2 = 162,682,371.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 162,682,371.5 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 | 325,364,743 | |
| -1 | -325,364,743 |
Now, we try dividing 325,364,743 by 3:
325,364,743 ÷ 3 = 108,454,914.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 108,454,914.3333 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 | 325,364,743 | |
| -1 | -325,364,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
325,364,743 ÷ 4 = 81,341,185.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 81,341,185.75 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 | 325,364,743 | |
| -1 | 325,364,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 103 | 211 | 1,133 | 1,361 | 2,321 | 14,971 | 21,733 | 140,183 | 239,063 | 287,171 | 1,542,013 | 3,158,881 | 29,578,613 | 325,364,743 |
| -1 | -11 | -103 | -211 | -1,133 | -1,361 | -2,321 | -14,971 | -21,733 | -140,183 | -239,063 | -287,171 | -1,542,013 | -3,158,881 | -29,578,613 | -325,364,743 |
