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 366,357,715, 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 | 366,357,715 | |
| -1 | -366,357,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 366,357,715.
Example:
1 x 366,357,715 = 366,357,715
and
-1 x -366,357,715 = 366,357,715
Notice both answers equal 366,357,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 366,357,715 and divide it by 2:
366,357,715 ÷ 2 = 183,178,857.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,178,857.5 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 | 366,357,715 | |
| -1 | -366,357,715 |
Now, we try dividing 366,357,715 by 3:
366,357,715 ÷ 3 = 122,119,238.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,119,238.3333 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 | 366,357,715 | |
| -1 | -366,357,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
366,357,715 ÷ 4 = 91,589,428.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,589,428.75 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 | 366,357,715 | |
| -1 | 366,357,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 47 | 95 | 235 | 893 | 4,465 | 82,051 | 410,255 | 1,558,969 | 3,856,397 | 7,794,845 | 19,281,985 | 73,271,543 | 366,357,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -47 | -95 | -235 | -893 | -4,465 | -82,051 | -410,255 | -1,558,969 | -3,856,397 | -7,794,845 | -19,281,985 | -73,271,543 | -366,357,715 |
