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 332,335,535, 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 | 332,335,535 | |
| -1 | -332,335,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,335,535.
Example:
1 x 332,335,535 = 332,335,535
and
-1 x -332,335,535 = 332,335,535
Notice both answers equal 332,335,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,335,535 and divide it by 2:
332,335,535 ÷ 2 = 166,167,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,167,767.5 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 | 332,335,535 | |
| -1 | -332,335,535 |
Now, we try dividing 332,335,535 by 3:
332,335,535 ÷ 3 = 110,778,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,778,511.6667 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 | 332,335,535 | |
| -1 | -332,335,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,335,535 ÷ 4 = 83,083,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,083,883.75 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 | 332,335,535 | |
| -1 | 332,335,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 607 | 3,035 | 4,249 | 15,643 | 21,245 | 78,215 | 109,501 | 547,505 | 9,495,301 | 47,476,505 | 66,467,107 | 332,335,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -607 | -3,035 | -4,249 | -15,643 | -21,245 | -78,215 | -109,501 | -547,505 | -9,495,301 | -47,476,505 | -66,467,107 | -332,335,535 |
