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 365,031,323, 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 | 365,031,323 | |
| -1 | -365,031,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 365,031,323.
Example:
1 x 365,031,323 = 365,031,323
and
-1 x -365,031,323 = 365,031,323
Notice both answers equal 365,031,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 365,031,323 and divide it by 2:
365,031,323 ÷ 2 = 182,515,661.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,515,661.5 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 | 365,031,323 | |
| -1 | -365,031,323 |
Now, we try dividing 365,031,323 by 3:
365,031,323 ÷ 3 = 121,677,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,677,107.6667 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 | 365,031,323 | |
| -1 | -365,031,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
365,031,323 ÷ 4 = 91,257,830.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,257,830.75 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 | 365,031,323 | |
| -1 | 365,031,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 41 | 337 | 911 | 1,189 | 9,773 | 13,817 | 26,419 | 37,351 | 307,007 | 400,693 | 1,083,179 | 8,903,203 | 12,587,287 | 365,031,323 |
| -1 | -29 | -41 | -337 | -911 | -1,189 | -9,773 | -13,817 | -26,419 | -37,351 | -307,007 | -400,693 | -1,083,179 | -8,903,203 | -12,587,287 | -365,031,323 |
