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 332,130,323, 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 | 332,130,323 | |
| -1 | -332,130,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,130,323.
Example:
1 x 332,130,323 = 332,130,323
and
-1 x -332,130,323 = 332,130,323
Notice both answers equal 332,130,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,130,323 and divide it by 2:
332,130,323 ÷ 2 = 166,065,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,065,161.5 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 | 332,130,323 | |
| -1 | -332,130,323 |
Now, we try dividing 332,130,323 by 3:
332,130,323 ÷ 3 = 110,710,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,710,107.6667 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 | 332,130,323 | |
| -1 | -332,130,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,130,323 ÷ 4 = 83,032,580.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,032,580.75 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 | 332,130,323 | |
| -1 | 332,130,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 67 | 301 | 383 | 469 | 1,849 | 2,681 | 2,881 | 12,943 | 16,469 | 20,167 | 25,661 | 115,283 | 123,883 | 179,627 | 708,167 | 867,181 | 1,103,423 | 4,957,169 | 7,723,961 | 47,447,189 | 332,130,323 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -67 | -301 | -383 | -469 | -1,849 | -2,681 | -2,881 | -12,943 | -16,469 | -20,167 | -25,661 | -115,283 | -123,883 | -179,627 | -708,167 | -867,181 | -1,103,423 | -4,957,169 | -7,723,961 | -47,447,189 | -332,130,323 |
