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 365,610,497, 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 | 365,610,497 | |
| -1 | -365,610,497 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 365,610,497.
Example:
1 x 365,610,497 = 365,610,497
and
-1 x -365,610,497 = 365,610,497
Notice both answers equal 365,610,497
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 365,610,497 and divide it by 2:
365,610,497 ÷ 2 = 182,805,248.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,805,248.5 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 | 365,610,497 | |
| -1 | -365,610,497 |
Now, we try dividing 365,610,497 by 3:
365,610,497 ÷ 3 = 121,870,165.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,870,165.6667 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 | 365,610,497 | |
| -1 | -365,610,497 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
365,610,497 ÷ 4 = 91,402,624.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,402,624.25 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 | 365,610,497 | |
| -1 | 365,610,497 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 217 | 373 | 2,611 | 4,517 | 11,563 | 31,619 | 80,941 | 140,027 | 980,189 | 1,684,841 | 11,793,887 | 52,230,071 | 365,610,497 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -217 | -373 | -2,611 | -4,517 | -11,563 | -31,619 | -80,941 | -140,027 | -980,189 | -1,684,841 | -11,793,887 | -52,230,071 | -365,610,497 |
