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 332,602,165, 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 | 332,602,165 | |
| -1 | -332,602,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,602,165.
Example:
1 x 332,602,165 = 332,602,165
and
-1 x -332,602,165 = 332,602,165
Notice both answers equal 332,602,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,602,165 and divide it by 2:
332,602,165 ÷ 2 = 166,301,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,301,082.5 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 | 332,602,165 | |
| -1 | -332,602,165 |
Now, we try dividing 332,602,165 by 3:
332,602,165 ÷ 3 = 110,867,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,867,388.3333 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 | 332,602,165 | |
| -1 | -332,602,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,602,165 ÷ 4 = 83,150,541.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,150,541.25 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 | 332,602,165 | |
| -1 | 332,602,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 83 | 415 | 581 | 2,905 | 114,493 | 572,465 | 801,451 | 4,007,255 | 9,502,919 | 47,514,595 | 66,520,433 | 332,602,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -83 | -415 | -581 | -2,905 | -114,493 | -572,465 | -801,451 | -4,007,255 | -9,502,919 | -47,514,595 | -66,520,433 | -332,602,165 |
