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 332,134,205, 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 | 332,134,205 | |
| -1 | -332,134,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,134,205.
Example:
1 x 332,134,205 = 332,134,205
and
-1 x -332,134,205 = 332,134,205
Notice both answers equal 332,134,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,134,205 and divide it by 2:
332,134,205 ÷ 2 = 166,067,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,067,102.5 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 | 332,134,205 | |
| -1 | -332,134,205 |
Now, we try dividing 332,134,205 by 3:
332,134,205 ÷ 3 = 110,711,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,711,401.6667 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 | 332,134,205 | |
| -1 | -332,134,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,134,205 ÷ 4 = 83,033,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,033,551.25 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 | 332,134,205 | |
| -1 | 332,134,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 89 | 445 | 1,157 | 5,785 | 57,413 | 287,065 | 746,369 | 3,731,845 | 5,109,757 | 25,548,785 | 66,426,841 | 332,134,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -89 | -445 | -1,157 | -5,785 | -57,413 | -287,065 | -746,369 | -3,731,845 | -5,109,757 | -25,548,785 | -66,426,841 | -332,134,205 |
