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 365,585,885, 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 | 365,585,885 | |
| -1 | -365,585,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 365,585,885.
Example:
1 x 365,585,885 = 365,585,885
and
-1 x -365,585,885 = 365,585,885
Notice both answers equal 365,585,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 365,585,885 and divide it by 2:
365,585,885 ÷ 2 = 182,792,942.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,792,942.5 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 | 365,585,885 | |
| -1 | -365,585,885 |
Now, we try dividing 365,585,885 by 3:
365,585,885 ÷ 3 = 121,861,961.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,861,961.6667 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 | 365,585,885 | |
| -1 | -365,585,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
365,585,885 ÷ 4 = 91,396,471.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,396,471.25 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 | 365,585,885 | |
| -1 | 365,585,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 199 | 995 | 1,393 | 6,965 | 52,489 | 262,445 | 367,423 | 1,837,115 | 10,445,311 | 52,226,555 | 73,117,177 | 365,585,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -199 | -995 | -1,393 | -6,965 | -52,489 | -262,445 | -367,423 | -1,837,115 | -10,445,311 | -52,226,555 | -73,117,177 | -365,585,885 |
