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 332,132,035, 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 | 332,132,035 | |
| -1 | -332,132,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,132,035.
Example:
1 x 332,132,035 = 332,132,035
and
-1 x -332,132,035 = 332,132,035
Notice both answers equal 332,132,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,132,035 and divide it by 2:
332,132,035 ÷ 2 = 166,066,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,066,017.5 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 | 332,132,035 | |
| -1 | -332,132,035 |
Now, we try dividing 332,132,035 by 3:
332,132,035 ÷ 3 = 110,710,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,710,678.3333 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 | 332,132,035 | |
| -1 | -332,132,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,132,035 ÷ 4 = 83,033,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,033,008.75 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 | 332,132,035 | |
| -1 | 332,132,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 337 | 439 | 449 | 1,685 | 2,195 | 2,245 | 147,943 | 151,313 | 197,111 | 739,715 | 756,565 | 985,555 | 66,426,407 | 332,132,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -337 | -439 | -449 | -1,685 | -2,195 | -2,245 | -147,943 | -151,313 | -197,111 | -739,715 | -756,565 | -985,555 | -66,426,407 | -332,132,035 |
