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 362,354,555, 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 | 362,354,555 | |
| -1 | -362,354,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 362,354,555.
Example:
1 x 362,354,555 = 362,354,555
and
-1 x -362,354,555 = 362,354,555
Notice both answers equal 362,354,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 362,354,555 and divide it by 2:
362,354,555 ÷ 2 = 181,177,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 181,177,277.5 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 | 362,354,555 | |
| -1 | -362,354,555 |
Now, we try dividing 362,354,555 by 3:
362,354,555 ÷ 3 = 120,784,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,784,851.6667 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 | 362,354,555 | |
| -1 | -362,354,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
362,354,555 ÷ 4 = 90,588,638.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,588,638.75 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 | 362,354,555 | |
| -1 | 362,354,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 173 | 509 | 823 | 865 | 2,545 | 4,115 | 88,057 | 142,379 | 418,907 | 440,285 | 711,895 | 2,094,535 | 72,470,911 | 362,354,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -173 | -509 | -823 | -865 | -2,545 | -4,115 | -88,057 | -142,379 | -418,907 | -440,285 | -711,895 | -2,094,535 | -72,470,911 | -362,354,555 |
