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 366,453,353, 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 | 366,453,353 | |
| -1 | -366,453,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 366,453,353.
Example:
1 x 366,453,353 = 366,453,353
and
-1 x -366,453,353 = 366,453,353
Notice both answers equal 366,453,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 366,453,353 and divide it by 2:
366,453,353 ÷ 2 = 183,226,676.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,226,676.5 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 | 366,453,353 | |
| -1 | -366,453,353 |
Now, we try dividing 366,453,353 by 3:
366,453,353 ÷ 3 = 122,151,117.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,151,117.6667 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 | 366,453,353 | |
| -1 | -366,453,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
366,453,353 ÷ 4 = 91,613,338.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,613,338.25 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 | 366,453,353 | |
| -1 | 366,453,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 301 | 967 | 1,259 | 6,769 | 8,813 | 41,581 | 54,137 | 291,067 | 378,959 | 1,217,453 | 8,522,171 | 52,350,479 | 366,453,353 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -301 | -967 | -1,259 | -6,769 | -8,813 | -41,581 | -54,137 | -291,067 | -378,959 | -1,217,453 | -8,522,171 | -52,350,479 | -366,453,353 |
