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 432,002,311, 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 | 432,002,311 | |
| -1 | -432,002,311 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 432,002,311.
Example:
1 x 432,002,311 = 432,002,311
and
-1 x -432,002,311 = 432,002,311
Notice both answers equal 432,002,311
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 432,002,311 and divide it by 2:
432,002,311 ÷ 2 = 216,001,155.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,001,155.5 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 | 432,002,311 | |
| -1 | -432,002,311 |
Now, we try dividing 432,002,311 by 3:
432,002,311 ÷ 3 = 144,000,770.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,000,770.3333 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 | 432,002,311 | |
| -1 | -432,002,311 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
432,002,311 ÷ 4 = 108,000,577.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,000,577.75 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 | 432,002,311 | |
| -1 | 432,002,311 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 53 | 127 | 689 | 1,651 | 4,937 | 6,731 | 64,181 | 87,503 | 261,661 | 626,999 | 3,401,593 | 8,150,987 | 33,230,947 | 432,002,311 |
| -1 | -13 | -53 | -127 | -689 | -1,651 | -4,937 | -6,731 | -64,181 | -87,503 | -261,661 | -626,999 | -3,401,593 | -8,150,987 | -33,230,947 | -432,002,311 |
