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 332,132,213, 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 | 332,132,213 | |
| -1 | -332,132,213 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,132,213.
Example:
1 x 332,132,213 = 332,132,213
and
-1 x -332,132,213 = 332,132,213
Notice both answers equal 332,132,213
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,132,213 and divide it by 2:
332,132,213 ÷ 2 = 166,066,106.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,066,106.5 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 | 332,132,213 | |
| -1 | -332,132,213 |
Now, we try dividing 332,132,213 by 3:
332,132,213 ÷ 3 = 110,710,737.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,710,737.6667 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 | 332,132,213 | |
| -1 | -332,132,213 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,132,213 ÷ 4 = 83,033,053.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,033,053.25 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 | 332,132,213 | |
| -1 | 332,132,213 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 23 | 119 | 161 | 391 | 2,737 | 121,349 | 849,443 | 2,062,933 | 2,791,027 | 14,440,531 | 19,537,189 | 47,447,459 | 332,132,213 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -23 | -119 | -161 | -391 | -2,737 | -121,349 | -849,443 | -2,062,933 | -2,791,027 | -14,440,531 | -19,537,189 | -47,447,459 | -332,132,213 |
