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 332,322,815, 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 | 332,322,815 | |
| -1 | -332,322,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,322,815.
Example:
1 x 332,322,815 = 332,322,815
and
-1 x -332,322,815 = 332,322,815
Notice both answers equal 332,322,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,322,815 and divide it by 2:
332,322,815 ÷ 2 = 166,161,407.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,161,407.5 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 | 332,322,815 | |
| -1 | -332,322,815 |
Now, we try dividing 332,322,815 by 3:
332,322,815 ÷ 3 = 110,774,271.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,774,271.6667 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 | 332,322,815 | |
| -1 | -332,322,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,322,815 ÷ 4 = 83,080,703.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,080,703.75 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 | 332,322,815 | |
| -1 | 332,322,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 61 | 305 | 671 | 3,355 | 99,053 | 495,265 | 1,089,583 | 5,447,915 | 6,042,233 | 30,211,165 | 66,464,563 | 332,322,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -61 | -305 | -671 | -3,355 | -99,053 | -495,265 | -1,089,583 | -5,447,915 | -6,042,233 | -30,211,165 | -66,464,563 | -332,322,815 |
