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 332,253,275, 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 | 332,253,275 | |
| -1 | -332,253,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,253,275.
Example:
1 x 332,253,275 = 332,253,275
and
-1 x -332,253,275 = 332,253,275
Notice both answers equal 332,253,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,253,275 and divide it by 2:
332,253,275 ÷ 2 = 166,126,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,126,637.5 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 | 332,253,275 | |
| -1 | -332,253,275 |
Now, we try dividing 332,253,275 by 3:
332,253,275 ÷ 3 = 110,751,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,751,091.6667 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 | 332,253,275 | |
| -1 | -332,253,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,253,275 ÷ 4 = 83,063,318.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,063,318.75 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 | 332,253,275 | |
| -1 | 332,253,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 61 | 223 | 305 | 977 | 1,115 | 1,525 | 4,885 | 5,575 | 13,603 | 24,425 | 59,597 | 68,015 | 217,871 | 297,985 | 340,075 | 1,089,355 | 1,489,925 | 5,446,775 | 13,290,131 | 66,450,655 | 332,253,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -61 | -223 | -305 | -977 | -1,115 | -1,525 | -4,885 | -5,575 | -13,603 | -24,425 | -59,597 | -68,015 | -217,871 | -297,985 | -340,075 | -1,089,355 | -1,489,925 | -5,446,775 | -13,290,131 | -66,450,655 | -332,253,275 |
