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 362,570,407, 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 | 362,570,407 | |
| -1 | -362,570,407 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 362,570,407.
Example:
1 x 362,570,407 = 362,570,407
and
-1 x -362,570,407 = 362,570,407
Notice both answers equal 362,570,407
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 362,570,407 and divide it by 2:
362,570,407 ÷ 2 = 181,285,203.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 181,285,203.5 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 | 362,570,407 | |
| -1 | -362,570,407 |
Now, we try dividing 362,570,407 by 3:
362,570,407 ÷ 3 = 120,856,802.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 120,856,802.3333 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 | 362,570,407 | |
| -1 | -362,570,407 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
362,570,407 ÷ 4 = 90,642,601.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,642,601.75 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 | 362,570,407 | |
| -1 | 362,570,407 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 179 | 323 | 3,043 | 3,401 | 6,271 | 57,817 | 106,607 | 119,149 | 1,122,509 | 2,025,533 | 19,082,653 | 21,327,671 | 362,570,407 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -179 | -323 | -3,043 | -3,401 | -6,271 | -57,817 | -106,607 | -119,149 | -1,122,509 | -2,025,533 | -19,082,653 | -21,327,671 | -362,570,407 |
