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 370,307,705, 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 | 370,307,705 | |
| -1 | -370,307,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 370,307,705.
Example:
1 x 370,307,705 = 370,307,705
and
-1 x -370,307,705 = 370,307,705
Notice both answers equal 370,307,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 370,307,705 and divide it by 2:
370,307,705 ÷ 2 = 185,153,852.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 185,153,852.5 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 | 370,307,705 | |
| -1 | -370,307,705 |
Now, we try dividing 370,307,705 by 3:
370,307,705 ÷ 3 = 123,435,901.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 123,435,901.6667 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 | 370,307,705 | |
| -1 | -370,307,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
370,307,705 ÷ 4 = 92,576,926.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 92,576,926.25 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 | 370,307,705 | |
| -1 | 370,307,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 397 | 1,985 | 8,111 | 9,131 | 40,555 | 45,655 | 186,553 | 932,765 | 3,220,067 | 16,100,335 | 74,061,541 | 370,307,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -397 | -1,985 | -8,111 | -9,131 | -40,555 | -45,655 | -186,553 | -932,765 | -3,220,067 | -16,100,335 | -74,061,541 | -370,307,705 |
