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 368,002,375, 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 | 368,002,375 | |
| -1 | -368,002,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 368,002,375.
Example:
1 x 368,002,375 = 368,002,375
and
-1 x -368,002,375 = 368,002,375
Notice both answers equal 368,002,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 368,002,375 and divide it by 2:
368,002,375 ÷ 2 = 184,001,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 184,001,187.5 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 | 368,002,375 | |
| -1 | -368,002,375 |
Now, we try dividing 368,002,375 by 3:
368,002,375 ÷ 3 = 122,667,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,667,458.3333 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 | 368,002,375 | |
| -1 | -368,002,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
368,002,375 ÷ 4 = 92,000,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 92,000,593.75 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 | 368,002,375 | |
| -1 | 368,002,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 125 | 325 | 1,625 | 226,463 | 1,132,315 | 2,944,019 | 5,661,575 | 14,720,095 | 28,307,875 | 73,600,475 | 368,002,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -125 | -325 | -1,625 | -226,463 | -1,132,315 | -2,944,019 | -5,661,575 | -14,720,095 | -28,307,875 | -73,600,475 | -368,002,375 |
