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 332,102,029, 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 | 332,102,029 | |
| -1 | -332,102,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,102,029.
Example:
1 x 332,102,029 = 332,102,029
and
-1 x -332,102,029 = 332,102,029
Notice both answers equal 332,102,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,102,029 and divide it by 2:
332,102,029 ÷ 2 = 166,051,014.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,051,014.5 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 | 332,102,029 | |
| -1 | -332,102,029 |
Now, we try dividing 332,102,029 by 3:
332,102,029 ÷ 3 = 110,700,676.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,700,676.3333 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 | 332,102,029 | |
| -1 | -332,102,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,102,029 ÷ 4 = 83,025,507.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,025,507.25 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 | 332,102,029 | |
| -1 | 332,102,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 301 | 463 | 2,383 | 3,241 | 16,681 | 19,909 | 102,469 | 139,363 | 717,283 | 1,103,329 | 7,723,303 | 47,443,147 | 332,102,029 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -301 | -463 | -2,383 | -3,241 | -16,681 | -19,909 | -102,469 | -139,363 | -717,283 | -1,103,329 | -7,723,303 | -47,443,147 | -332,102,029 |
