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 332,320,199, 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 | 332,320,199 | |
| -1 | -332,320,199 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,320,199.
Example:
1 x 332,320,199 = 332,320,199
and
-1 x -332,320,199 = 332,320,199
Notice both answers equal 332,320,199
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,320,199 and divide it by 2:
332,320,199 ÷ 2 = 166,160,099.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,160,099.5 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 | 332,320,199 | |
| -1 | -332,320,199 |
Now, we try dividing 332,320,199 by 3:
332,320,199 ÷ 3 = 110,773,399.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,773,399.6667 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 | 332,320,199 | |
| -1 | -332,320,199 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,320,199 ÷ 4 = 83,080,049.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,080,049.75 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 | 332,320,199 | |
| -1 | 332,320,199 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 37 | 101 | 629 | 1,717 | 3,737 | 5,231 | 63,529 | 88,927 | 193,547 | 528,331 | 3,290,299 | 8,981,627 | 19,548,247 | 332,320,199 |
| -1 | -17 | -37 | -101 | -629 | -1,717 | -3,737 | -5,231 | -63,529 | -88,927 | -193,547 | -528,331 | -3,290,299 | -8,981,627 | -19,548,247 | -332,320,199 |
