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 366,054,665, 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 | 366,054,665 | |
| -1 | -366,054,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 366,054,665.
Example:
1 x 366,054,665 = 366,054,665
and
-1 x -366,054,665 = 366,054,665
Notice both answers equal 366,054,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 366,054,665 and divide it by 2:
366,054,665 ÷ 2 = 183,027,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,027,332.5 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 | 366,054,665 | |
| -1 | -366,054,665 |
Now, we try dividing 366,054,665 by 3:
366,054,665 ÷ 3 = 122,018,221.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,018,221.6667 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 | 366,054,665 | |
| -1 | -366,054,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
366,054,665 ÷ 4 = 91,513,666.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,513,666.25 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 | 366,054,665 | |
| -1 | 366,054,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 2,945 | 124,297 | 621,485 | 2,361,643 | 3,853,207 | 11,808,215 | 19,266,035 | 73,210,933 | 366,054,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -2,945 | -124,297 | -621,485 | -2,361,643 | -3,853,207 | -11,808,215 | -19,266,035 | -73,210,933 | -366,054,665 |
