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 361,253,111, 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 | 361,253,111 | |
| -1 | -361,253,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 361,253,111.
Example:
1 x 361,253,111 = 361,253,111
and
-1 x -361,253,111 = 361,253,111
Notice both answers equal 361,253,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 361,253,111 and divide it by 2:
361,253,111 ÷ 2 = 180,626,555.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 180,626,555.5 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 | 361,253,111 | |
| -1 | -361,253,111 |
Now, we try dividing 361,253,111 by 3:
361,253,111 ÷ 3 = 120,417,703.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,417,703.6667 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 | 361,253,111 | |
| -1 | -361,253,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
361,253,111 ÷ 4 = 90,313,277.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,313,277.75 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 | 361,253,111 | |
| -1 | 361,253,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 373 | 391 | 2,477 | 6,341 | 8,579 | 42,109 | 56,971 | 145,843 | 923,921 | 968,507 | 15,706,657 | 21,250,183 | 361,253,111 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -373 | -391 | -2,477 | -6,341 | -8,579 | -42,109 | -56,971 | -145,843 | -923,921 | -968,507 | -15,706,657 | -21,250,183 | -361,253,111 |
