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 356,466,605, 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 | 356,466,605 | |
| -1 | -356,466,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 356,466,605.
Example:
1 x 356,466,605 = 356,466,605
and
-1 x -356,466,605 = 356,466,605
Notice both answers equal 356,466,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 356,466,605 and divide it by 2:
356,466,605 ÷ 2 = 178,233,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 178,233,302.5 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 | 356,466,605 | |
| -1 | -356,466,605 |
Now, we try dividing 356,466,605 by 3:
356,466,605 ÷ 3 = 118,822,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 118,822,201.6667 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 | 356,466,605 | |
| -1 | -356,466,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
356,466,605 ÷ 4 = 89,116,651.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 89,116,651.25 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 | 356,466,605 | |
| -1 | 356,466,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 121 | 265 | 583 | 605 | 2,915 | 6,413 | 11,117 | 32,065 | 55,585 | 122,287 | 589,201 | 611,435 | 1,345,157 | 2,946,005 | 6,481,211 | 6,725,785 | 32,406,055 | 71,293,321 | 356,466,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -121 | -265 | -583 | -605 | -2,915 | -6,413 | -11,117 | -32,065 | -55,585 | -122,287 | -589,201 | -611,435 | -1,345,157 | -2,946,005 | -6,481,211 | -6,725,785 | -32,406,055 | -71,293,321 | -356,466,605 |
