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 367,763,237, 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 | 367,763,237 | |
| -1 | -367,763,237 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 367,763,237.
Example:
1 x 367,763,237 = 367,763,237
and
-1 x -367,763,237 = 367,763,237
Notice both answers equal 367,763,237
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 367,763,237 and divide it by 2:
367,763,237 ÷ 2 = 183,881,618.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 183,881,618.5 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 | 367,763,237 | |
| -1 | -367,763,237 |
Now, we try dividing 367,763,237 by 3:
367,763,237 ÷ 3 = 122,587,745.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,587,745.6667 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 | 367,763,237 | |
| -1 | -367,763,237 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
367,763,237 ÷ 4 = 91,940,809.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 91,940,809.25 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 | 367,763,237 | |
| -1 | 367,763,237 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 53 | 157 | 193 | 229 | 8,321 | 10,229 | 12,137 | 30,301 | 35,953 | 44,197 | 1,605,953 | 1,905,509 | 2,342,441 | 6,938,929 | 367,763,237 |
| -1 | -53 | -157 | -193 | -229 | -8,321 | -10,229 | -12,137 | -30,301 | -35,953 | -44,197 | -1,605,953 | -1,905,509 | -2,342,441 | -6,938,929 | -367,763,237 |
