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 362,394,835, 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 | 362,394,835 | |
| -1 | -362,394,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 362,394,835.
Example:
1 x 362,394,835 = 362,394,835
and
-1 x -362,394,835 = 362,394,835
Notice both answers equal 362,394,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 362,394,835 and divide it by 2:
362,394,835 ÷ 2 = 181,197,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 181,197,417.5 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 | 362,394,835 | |
| -1 | -362,394,835 |
Now, we try dividing 362,394,835 by 3:
362,394,835 ÷ 3 = 120,798,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,798,278.3333 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 | 362,394,835 | |
| -1 | -362,394,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
362,394,835 ÷ 4 = 90,598,708.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,598,708.75 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 | 362,394,835 | |
| -1 | 362,394,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 37 | 55 | 185 | 407 | 1,369 | 2,035 | 4,813 | 6,845 | 15,059 | 24,065 | 52,943 | 75,295 | 178,081 | 264,715 | 890,405 | 1,958,891 | 6,588,997 | 9,794,455 | 32,944,985 | 72,478,967 | 362,394,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -37 | -55 | -185 | -407 | -1,369 | -2,035 | -4,813 | -6,845 | -15,059 | -24,065 | -52,943 | -75,295 | -178,081 | -264,715 | -890,405 | -1,958,891 | -6,588,997 | -9,794,455 | -32,944,985 | -72,478,967 | -362,394,835 |
