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 366,344,153, 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 | 366,344,153 | |
| -1 | -366,344,153 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 366,344,153.
Example:
1 x 366,344,153 = 366,344,153
and
-1 x -366,344,153 = 366,344,153
Notice both answers equal 366,344,153
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 366,344,153 and divide it by 2:
366,344,153 ÷ 2 = 183,172,076.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,172,076.5 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 | 366,344,153 | |
| -1 | -366,344,153 |
Now, we try dividing 366,344,153 by 3:
366,344,153 ÷ 3 = 122,114,717.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,114,717.6667 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 | 366,344,153 | |
| -1 | -366,344,153 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
366,344,153 ÷ 4 = 91,586,038.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,586,038.25 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 | 366,344,153 | |
| -1 | 366,344,153 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 203 | 1,033 | 1,747 | 7,231 | 12,229 | 29,957 | 50,663 | 209,699 | 354,641 | 1,804,651 | 12,632,557 | 52,334,879 | 366,344,153 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -203 | -1,033 | -1,747 | -7,231 | -12,229 | -29,957 | -50,663 | -209,699 | -354,641 | -1,804,651 | -12,632,557 | -52,334,879 | -366,344,153 |
