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 366,341,605, 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 | 366,341,605 | |
| -1 | -366,341,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 366,341,605.
Example:
1 x 366,341,605 = 366,341,605
and
-1 x -366,341,605 = 366,341,605
Notice both answers equal 366,341,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 366,341,605 and divide it by 2:
366,341,605 ÷ 2 = 183,170,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,170,802.5 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 | 366,341,605 | |
| -1 | -366,341,605 |
Now, we try dividing 366,341,605 by 3:
366,341,605 ÷ 3 = 122,113,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,113,868.3333 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 | 366,341,605 | |
| -1 | -366,341,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
366,341,605 ÷ 4 = 91,585,401.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,585,401.25 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 | 366,341,605 | |
| -1 | 366,341,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 229 | 1,145 | 1,603 | 8,015 | 45,707 | 228,535 | 319,949 | 1,599,745 | 10,466,903 | 52,334,515 | 73,268,321 | 366,341,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -229 | -1,145 | -1,603 | -8,015 | -45,707 | -228,535 | -319,949 | -1,599,745 | -10,466,903 | -52,334,515 | -73,268,321 | -366,341,605 |
