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 366,545,435, 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 | 366,545,435 | |
| -1 | -366,545,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 366,545,435.
Example:
1 x 366,545,435 = 366,545,435
and
-1 x -366,545,435 = 366,545,435
Notice both answers equal 366,545,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 366,545,435 and divide it by 2:
366,545,435 ÷ 2 = 183,272,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,272,717.5 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 | 366,545,435 | |
| -1 | -366,545,435 |
Now, we try dividing 366,545,435 by 3:
366,545,435 ÷ 3 = 122,181,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,181,811.6667 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 | 366,545,435 | |
| -1 | -366,545,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
366,545,435 ÷ 4 = 91,636,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,636,358.75 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 | 366,545,435 | |
| -1 | 366,545,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 163 | 815 | 3,097 | 15,485 | 23,671 | 118,355 | 449,749 | 2,248,745 | 3,858,373 | 19,291,865 | 73,309,087 | 366,545,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -163 | -815 | -3,097 | -15,485 | -23,671 | -118,355 | -449,749 | -2,248,745 | -3,858,373 | -19,291,865 | -73,309,087 | -366,545,435 |
