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 325,523,555, 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 | 325,523,555 | |
| -1 | -325,523,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 325,523,555.
Example:
1 x 325,523,555 = 325,523,555
and
-1 x -325,523,555 = 325,523,555
Notice both answers equal 325,523,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 325,523,555 and divide it by 2:
325,523,555 ÷ 2 = 162,761,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 162,761,777.5 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 | 325,523,555 | |
| -1 | -325,523,555 |
Now, we try dividing 325,523,555 by 3:
325,523,555 ÷ 3 = 108,507,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 108,507,851.6667 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 | 325,523,555 | |
| -1 | -325,523,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
325,523,555 ÷ 4 = 81,380,888.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 81,380,888.75 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 | 325,523,555 | |
| -1 | 325,523,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 599 | 2,995 | 4,193 | 15,527 | 20,965 | 77,635 | 108,689 | 543,445 | 9,300,673 | 46,503,365 | 65,104,711 | 325,523,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -599 | -2,995 | -4,193 | -15,527 | -20,965 | -77,635 | -108,689 | -543,445 | -9,300,673 | -46,503,365 | -65,104,711 | -325,523,555 |
