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 432,432,245, 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 | 432,432,245 | |
| -1 | -432,432,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 432,432,245.
Example:
1 x 432,432,245 = 432,432,245
and
-1 x -432,432,245 = 432,432,245
Notice both answers equal 432,432,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 432,432,245 and divide it by 2:
432,432,245 ÷ 2 = 216,216,122.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 216,216,122.5 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 | 432,432,245 | |
| -1 | -432,432,245 |
Now, we try dividing 432,432,245 by 3:
432,432,245 ÷ 3 = 144,144,081.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 144,144,081.6667 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 | 432,432,245 | |
| -1 | -432,432,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
432,432,245 ÷ 4 = 108,108,061.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 108,108,061.25 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 | 432,432,245 | |
| -1 | 432,432,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 71 | 355 | 497 | 2,485 | 174,017 | 870,085 | 1,218,119 | 6,090,595 | 12,355,207 | 61,776,035 | 86,486,449 | 432,432,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -71 | -355 | -497 | -2,485 | -174,017 | -870,085 | -1,218,119 | -6,090,595 | -12,355,207 | -61,776,035 | -86,486,449 | -432,432,245 |
