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 364,042,459, 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 | 364,042,459 | |
| -1 | -364,042,459 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 364,042,459.
Example:
1 x 364,042,459 = 364,042,459
and
-1 x -364,042,459 = 364,042,459
Notice both answers equal 364,042,459
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 364,042,459 and divide it by 2:
364,042,459 ÷ 2 = 182,021,229.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,021,229.5 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 | 364,042,459 | |
| -1 | -364,042,459 |
Now, we try dividing 364,042,459 by 3:
364,042,459 ÷ 3 = 121,347,486.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,347,486.3333 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 | 364,042,459 | |
| -1 | -364,042,459 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
364,042,459 ÷ 4 = 91,010,614.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,010,614.75 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 | 364,042,459 | |
| -1 | 364,042,459 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 73 | 253 | 529 | 803 | 857 | 1,679 | 5,819 | 9,427 | 18,469 | 19,711 | 38,617 | 62,561 | 216,821 | 424,787 | 453,353 | 688,171 | 1,438,903 | 4,986,883 | 15,827,933 | 33,094,769 | 364,042,459 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -73 | -253 | -529 | -803 | -857 | -1,679 | -5,819 | -9,427 | -18,469 | -19,711 | -38,617 | -62,561 | -216,821 | -424,787 | -453,353 | -688,171 | -1,438,903 | -4,986,883 | -15,827,933 | -33,094,769 | -364,042,459 |
