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 364,030,355, 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 | 364,030,355 | |
| -1 | -364,030,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 364,030,355.
Example:
1 x 364,030,355 = 364,030,355
and
-1 x -364,030,355 = 364,030,355
Notice both answers equal 364,030,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 364,030,355 and divide it by 2:
364,030,355 ÷ 2 = 182,015,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,015,177.5 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 | 364,030,355 | |
| -1 | -364,030,355 |
Now, we try dividing 364,030,355 by 3:
364,030,355 ÷ 3 = 121,343,451.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,343,451.6667 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 | 364,030,355 | |
| -1 | -364,030,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
364,030,355 ÷ 4 = 91,007,588.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,007,588.75 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 | 364,030,355 | |
| -1 | 364,030,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 1,373 | 4,079 | 6,865 | 17,849 | 20,395 | 53,027 | 89,245 | 265,135 | 5,600,467 | 28,002,335 | 72,806,071 | 364,030,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -1,373 | -4,079 | -6,865 | -17,849 | -20,395 | -53,027 | -89,245 | -265,135 | -5,600,467 | -28,002,335 | -72,806,071 | -364,030,355 |
