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 432,300,415, 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 | 432,300,415 | |
| -1 | -432,300,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 432,300,415.
Example:
1 x 432,300,415 = 432,300,415
and
-1 x -432,300,415 = 432,300,415
Notice both answers equal 432,300,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 432,300,415 and divide it by 2:
432,300,415 ÷ 2 = 216,150,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,150,207.5 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 | 432,300,415 | |
| -1 | -432,300,415 |
Now, we try dividing 432,300,415 by 3:
432,300,415 ÷ 3 = 144,100,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,100,138.3333 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 | 432,300,415 | |
| -1 | -432,300,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
432,300,415 ÷ 4 = 108,075,103.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,075,103.75 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 | 432,300,415 | |
| -1 | 432,300,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 67 | 185 | 335 | 2,479 | 12,395 | 34,877 | 174,385 | 1,290,449 | 2,336,759 | 6,452,245 | 11,683,795 | 86,460,083 | 432,300,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -67 | -185 | -335 | -2,479 | -12,395 | -34,877 | -174,385 | -1,290,449 | -2,336,759 | -6,452,245 | -11,683,795 | -86,460,083 | -432,300,415 |
