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 365,937,719, 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 | 365,937,719 | |
| -1 | -365,937,719 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 365,937,719.
Example:
1 x 365,937,719 = 365,937,719
and
-1 x -365,937,719 = 365,937,719
Notice both answers equal 365,937,719
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 365,937,719 and divide it by 2:
365,937,719 ÷ 2 = 182,968,859.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 182,968,859.5 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 | 365,937,719 | |
| -1 | -365,937,719 |
Now, we try dividing 365,937,719 by 3:
365,937,719 ÷ 3 = 121,979,239.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 121,979,239.6667 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 | 365,937,719 | |
| -1 | -365,937,719 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
365,937,719 ÷ 4 = 91,484,429.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,484,429.75 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 | 365,937,719 | |
| -1 | 365,937,719 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 61 | 67 | 427 | 469 | 4,087 | 12,791 | 28,609 | 89,537 | 780,251 | 856,997 | 5,461,757 | 5,998,979 | 52,276,817 | 365,937,719 |
| -1 | -7 | -61 | -67 | -427 | -469 | -4,087 | -12,791 | -28,609 | -89,537 | -780,251 | -856,997 | -5,461,757 | -5,998,979 | -52,276,817 | -365,937,719 |
