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 368,411,015, 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 | 368,411,015 | |
| -1 | -368,411,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 368,411,015.
Example:
1 x 368,411,015 = 368,411,015
and
-1 x -368,411,015 = 368,411,015
Notice both answers equal 368,411,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 368,411,015 and divide it by 2:
368,411,015 ÷ 2 = 184,205,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 184,205,507.5 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 | 368,411,015 | |
| -1 | -368,411,015 |
Now, we try dividing 368,411,015 by 3:
368,411,015 ÷ 3 = 122,803,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 122,803,671.6667 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 | 368,411,015 | |
| -1 | -368,411,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
368,411,015 ÷ 4 = 92,102,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 92,102,753.75 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 | 368,411,015 | |
| -1 | 368,411,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 887 | 4,435 | 6,209 | 11,867 | 31,045 | 59,335 | 83,069 | 415,345 | 10,526,029 | 52,630,145 | 73,682,203 | 368,411,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -887 | -4,435 | -6,209 | -11,867 | -31,045 | -59,335 | -83,069 | -415,345 | -10,526,029 | -52,630,145 | -73,682,203 | -368,411,015 |
