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 360,550,619, 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 | 360,550,619 | |
| -1 | -360,550,619 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 360,550,619.
Example:
1 x 360,550,619 = 360,550,619
and
-1 x -360,550,619 = 360,550,619
Notice both answers equal 360,550,619
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 360,550,619 and divide it by 2:
360,550,619 ÷ 2 = 180,275,309.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 180,275,309.5 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 | 360,550,619 | |
| -1 | -360,550,619 |
Now, we try dividing 360,550,619 by 3:
360,550,619 ÷ 3 = 120,183,539.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,183,539.6667 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 | 360,550,619 | |
| -1 | -360,550,619 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
360,550,619 ÷ 4 = 90,137,654.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,137,654.75 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 | 360,550,619 | |
| -1 | 360,550,619 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 467 | 5,137 | 5,399 | 6,071 | 59,389 | 66,781 | 70,187 | 772,057 | 2,521,333 | 27,734,663 | 32,777,329 | 360,550,619 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -467 | -5,137 | -5,399 | -6,071 | -59,389 | -66,781 | -70,187 | -772,057 | -2,521,333 | -27,734,663 | -32,777,329 | -360,550,619 |
