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 362,066,717, 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 | 362,066,717 | |
| -1 | -362,066,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 362,066,717.
Example:
1 x 362,066,717 = 362,066,717
and
-1 x -362,066,717 = 362,066,717
Notice both answers equal 362,066,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 362,066,717 and divide it by 2:
362,066,717 ÷ 2 = 181,033,358.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 181,033,358.5 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 | 362,066,717 | |
| -1 | -362,066,717 |
Now, we try dividing 362,066,717 by 3:
362,066,717 ÷ 3 = 120,688,905.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,688,905.6667 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 | 362,066,717 | |
| -1 | -362,066,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
362,066,717 ÷ 4 = 90,516,679.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,516,679.25 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 | 362,066,717 | |
| -1 | 362,066,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 79 | 109 | 1,501 | 2,071 | 2,213 | 8,611 | 42,047 | 163,609 | 174,827 | 241,217 | 3,321,713 | 4,583,123 | 19,056,143 | 362,066,717 |
| -1 | -19 | -79 | -109 | -1,501 | -2,071 | -2,213 | -8,611 | -42,047 | -163,609 | -174,827 | -241,217 | -3,321,713 | -4,583,123 | -19,056,143 | -362,066,717 |
