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 365,031,317, 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 | 365,031,317 | |
| -1 | -365,031,317 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 365,031,317.
Example:
1 x 365,031,317 = 365,031,317
and
-1 x -365,031,317 = 365,031,317
Notice both answers equal 365,031,317
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 365,031,317 and divide it by 2:
365,031,317 ÷ 2 = 182,515,658.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,515,658.5 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 | 365,031,317 | |
| -1 | -365,031,317 |
Now, we try dividing 365,031,317 by 3:
365,031,317 ÷ 3 = 121,677,105.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,677,105.6667 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 | 365,031,317 | |
| -1 | -365,031,317 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
365,031,317 ÷ 4 = 91,257,829.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,257,829.25 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 | 365,031,317 | |
| -1 | 365,031,317 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 511 | 809 | 883 | 5,663 | 6,181 | 59,057 | 64,459 | 413,399 | 451,213 | 714,347 | 5,000,429 | 52,147,331 | 365,031,317 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -511 | -809 | -883 | -5,663 | -6,181 | -59,057 | -64,459 | -413,399 | -451,213 | -714,347 | -5,000,429 | -52,147,331 | -365,031,317 |
