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 367,760,405, 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 | 367,760,405 | |
| -1 | -367,760,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 367,760,405.
Example:
1 x 367,760,405 = 367,760,405
and
-1 x -367,760,405 = 367,760,405
Notice both answers equal 367,760,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 367,760,405 and divide it by 2:
367,760,405 ÷ 2 = 183,880,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,880,202.5 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 | 367,760,405 | |
| -1 | -367,760,405 |
Now, we try dividing 367,760,405 by 3:
367,760,405 ÷ 3 = 122,586,801.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,586,801.6667 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 | 367,760,405 | |
| -1 | -367,760,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
367,760,405 ÷ 4 = 91,940,101.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,940,101.25 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 | 367,760,405 | |
| -1 | 367,760,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 79 | 85 | 395 | 1,343 | 6,715 | 54,767 | 273,835 | 931,039 | 4,326,593 | 4,655,195 | 21,632,965 | 73,552,081 | 367,760,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -79 | -85 | -395 | -1,343 | -6,715 | -54,767 | -273,835 | -931,039 | -4,326,593 | -4,655,195 | -21,632,965 | -73,552,081 | -367,760,405 |
