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 362,314,139, 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 | 362,314,139 | |
| -1 | -362,314,139 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 362,314,139.
Example:
1 x 362,314,139 = 362,314,139
and
-1 x -362,314,139 = 362,314,139
Notice both answers equal 362,314,139
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 362,314,139 and divide it by 2:
362,314,139 ÷ 2 = 181,157,069.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 181,157,069.5 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 | 362,314,139 | |
| -1 | -362,314,139 |
Now, we try dividing 362,314,139 by 3:
362,314,139 ÷ 3 = 120,771,379.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,771,379.6667 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 | 362,314,139 | |
| -1 | -362,314,139 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
362,314,139 ÷ 4 = 90,578,534.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,578,534.75 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 | 362,314,139 | |
| -1 | 362,314,139 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 103 | 319 | 1,133 | 2,987 | 11,027 | 32,857 | 121,297 | 319,783 | 1,135,781 | 3,517,613 | 12,493,591 | 32,937,649 | 362,314,139 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -103 | -319 | -1,133 | -2,987 | -11,027 | -32,857 | -121,297 | -319,783 | -1,135,781 | -3,517,613 | -12,493,591 | -32,937,649 | -362,314,139 |
