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 332,455,045, 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 | 332,455,045 | |
| -1 | -332,455,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 332,455,045.
Example:
1 x 332,455,045 = 332,455,045
and
-1 x -332,455,045 = 332,455,045
Notice both answers equal 332,455,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 332,455,045 and divide it by 2:
332,455,045 ÷ 2 = 166,227,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 166,227,522.5 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 | 332,455,045 | |
| -1 | -332,455,045 |
Now, we try dividing 332,455,045 by 3:
332,455,045 ÷ 3 = 110,818,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 110,818,348.3333 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 | 332,455,045 | |
| -1 | -332,455,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
332,455,045 ÷ 4 = 83,113,761.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 83,113,761.25 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 | 332,455,045 | |
| -1 | 332,455,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 193 | 965 | 2,509 | 12,545 | 26,501 | 132,505 | 344,513 | 1,722,565 | 5,114,693 | 25,573,465 | 66,491,009 | 332,455,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -193 | -965 | -2,509 | -12,545 | -26,501 | -132,505 | -344,513 | -1,722,565 | -5,114,693 | -25,573,465 | -66,491,009 | -332,455,045 |
