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 363,465,401, 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 | 363,465,401 | |
| -1 | -363,465,401 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 363,465,401.
Example:
1 x 363,465,401 = 363,465,401
and
-1 x -363,465,401 = 363,465,401
Notice both answers equal 363,465,401
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 363,465,401 and divide it by 2:
363,465,401 ÷ 2 = 181,732,700.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 181,732,700.5 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 | 363,465,401 | |
| -1 | -363,465,401 |
Now, we try dividing 363,465,401 by 3:
363,465,401 ÷ 3 = 121,155,133.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,155,133.6667 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 | 363,465,401 | |
| -1 | -363,465,401 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
363,465,401 ÷ 4 = 90,866,350.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 90,866,350.25 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 | 363,465,401 | |
| -1 | 363,465,401 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 71 | 139 | 923 | 1,807 | 2,833 | 9,869 | 36,829 | 128,297 | 201,143 | 393,787 | 2,614,859 | 5,119,231 | 27,958,877 | 363,465,401 |
| -1 | -13 | -71 | -139 | -923 | -1,807 | -2,833 | -9,869 | -36,829 | -128,297 | -201,143 | -393,787 | -2,614,859 | -5,119,231 | -27,958,877 | -363,465,401 |
