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 360,362,645, 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 | 360,362,645 | |
| -1 | -360,362,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 360,362,645.
Example:
1 x 360,362,645 = 360,362,645
and
-1 x -360,362,645 = 360,362,645
Notice both answers equal 360,362,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 360,362,645 and divide it by 2:
360,362,645 ÷ 2 = 180,181,322.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 180,181,322.5 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 | 360,362,645 | |
| -1 | -360,362,645 |
Now, we try dividing 360,362,645 by 3:
360,362,645 ÷ 3 = 120,120,881.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,120,881.6667 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 | 360,362,645 | |
| -1 | -360,362,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
360,362,645 ÷ 4 = 90,090,661.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,090,661.25 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 | 360,362,645 | |
| -1 | 360,362,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 853 | 4,265 | 4,447 | 16,207 | 22,235 | 81,035 | 84,493 | 422,465 | 3,793,291 | 18,966,455 | 72,072,529 | 360,362,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -853 | -4,265 | -4,447 | -16,207 | -22,235 | -81,035 | -84,493 | -422,465 | -3,793,291 | -18,966,455 | -72,072,529 | -360,362,645 |
