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 370,064,303, 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 | 370,064,303 | |
| -1 | -370,064,303 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 370,064,303.
Example:
1 x 370,064,303 = 370,064,303
and
-1 x -370,064,303 = 370,064,303
Notice both answers equal 370,064,303
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 370,064,303 and divide it by 2:
370,064,303 ÷ 2 = 185,032,151.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 185,032,151.5 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 | 370,064,303 | |
| -1 | -370,064,303 |
Now, we try dividing 370,064,303 by 3:
370,064,303 ÷ 3 = 123,354,767.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 123,354,767.6667 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 | 370,064,303 | |
| -1 | -370,064,303 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
370,064,303 ÷ 4 = 92,516,075.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 92,516,075.75 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 | 370,064,303 | |
| -1 | 370,064,303 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 101 | 197 | 707 | 1,379 | 2,657 | 18,599 | 19,897 | 139,279 | 268,357 | 523,429 | 1,878,499 | 3,664,003 | 52,866,329 | 370,064,303 |
| -1 | -7 | -101 | -197 | -707 | -1,379 | -2,657 | -18,599 | -19,897 | -139,279 | -268,357 | -523,429 | -1,878,499 | -3,664,003 | -52,866,329 | -370,064,303 |
