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 354,627,383, 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 | 354,627,383 | |
| -1 | -354,627,383 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 354,627,383.
Example:
1 x 354,627,383 = 354,627,383
and
-1 x -354,627,383 = 354,627,383
Notice both answers equal 354,627,383
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 354,627,383 and divide it by 2:
354,627,383 ÷ 2 = 177,313,691.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 177,313,691.5 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 | 354,627,383 | |
| -1 | -354,627,383 |
Now, we try dividing 354,627,383 by 3:
354,627,383 ÷ 3 = 118,209,127.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 118,209,127.6667 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 | 354,627,383 | |
| -1 | -354,627,383 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
354,627,383 ÷ 4 = 88,656,845.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 88,656,845.75 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 | 354,627,383 | |
| -1 | 354,627,383 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 197 | 341 | 2,167 | 5,279 | 6,107 | 58,069 | 67,177 | 163,649 | 1,039,963 | 1,800,139 | 11,439,593 | 32,238,853 | 354,627,383 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -197 | -341 | -2,167 | -5,279 | -6,107 | -58,069 | -67,177 | -163,649 | -1,039,963 | -1,800,139 | -11,439,593 | -32,238,853 | -354,627,383 |
