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 332,111,635, 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 | 332,111,635 | |
| -1 | -332,111,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,111,635.
Example:
1 x 332,111,635 = 332,111,635
and
-1 x -332,111,635 = 332,111,635
Notice both answers equal 332,111,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,111,635 and divide it by 2:
332,111,635 ÷ 2 = 166,055,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,055,817.5 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 | 332,111,635 | |
| -1 | -332,111,635 |
Now, we try dividing 332,111,635 by 3:
332,111,635 ÷ 3 = 110,703,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,703,878.3333 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 | 332,111,635 | |
| -1 | -332,111,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,111,635 ÷ 4 = 83,027,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,027,908.75 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 | 332,111,635 | |
| -1 | 332,111,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 83 | 235 | 415 | 3,901 | 17,027 | 19,505 | 85,135 | 800,269 | 1,413,241 | 4,001,345 | 7,066,205 | 66,422,327 | 332,111,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -83 | -235 | -415 | -3,901 | -17,027 | -19,505 | -85,135 | -800,269 | -1,413,241 | -4,001,345 | -7,066,205 | -66,422,327 | -332,111,635 |
