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 367,134,677, 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 | 367,134,677 | |
| -1 | -367,134,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 367,134,677.
Example:
1 x 367,134,677 = 367,134,677
and
-1 x -367,134,677 = 367,134,677
Notice both answers equal 367,134,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 367,134,677 and divide it by 2:
367,134,677 ÷ 2 = 183,567,338.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,567,338.5 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 | 367,134,677 | |
| -1 | -367,134,677 |
Now, we try dividing 367,134,677 by 3:
367,134,677 ÷ 3 = 122,378,225.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,378,225.6667 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 | 367,134,677 | |
| -1 | -367,134,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
367,134,677 ÷ 4 = 91,783,669.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,783,669.25 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 | 367,134,677 | |
| -1 | 367,134,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 1,163 | 3,469 | 8,141 | 15,119 | 24,283 | 45,097 | 105,833 | 315,679 | 4,034,447 | 28,241,129 | 52,447,811 | 367,134,677 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -1,163 | -3,469 | -8,141 | -15,119 | -24,283 | -45,097 | -105,833 | -315,679 | -4,034,447 | -28,241,129 | -52,447,811 | -367,134,677 |
