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 365,503,327, 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 | 365,503,327 | |
| -1 | -365,503,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 365,503,327.
Example:
1 x 365,503,327 = 365,503,327
and
-1 x -365,503,327 = 365,503,327
Notice both answers equal 365,503,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 365,503,327 and divide it by 2:
365,503,327 ÷ 2 = 182,751,663.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,751,663.5 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 | 365,503,327 | |
| -1 | -365,503,327 |
Now, we try dividing 365,503,327 by 3:
365,503,327 ÷ 3 = 121,834,442.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,834,442.3333 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 | 365,503,327 | |
| -1 | -365,503,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
365,503,327 ÷ 4 = 91,375,831.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,375,831.75 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 | 365,503,327 | |
| -1 | 365,503,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 29 | 161 | 203 | 667 | 4,669 | 78,283 | 547,981 | 1,800,509 | 2,270,207 | 12,603,563 | 15,891,449 | 52,214,761 | 365,503,327 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -29 | -161 | -203 | -667 | -4,669 | -78,283 | -547,981 | -1,800,509 | -2,270,207 | -12,603,563 | -15,891,449 | -52,214,761 | -365,503,327 |
