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 370,307,707, 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 | 370,307,707 | |
| -1 | -370,307,707 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 370,307,707.
Example:
1 x 370,307,707 = 370,307,707
and
-1 x -370,307,707 = 370,307,707
Notice both answers equal 370,307,707
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 370,307,707 and divide it by 2:
370,307,707 ÷ 2 = 185,153,853.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 185,153,853.5 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 | 370,307,707 | |
| -1 | -370,307,707 |
Now, we try dividing 370,307,707 by 3:
370,307,707 ÷ 3 = 123,435,902.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 123,435,902.3333 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 | 370,307,707 | |
| -1 | -370,307,707 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
370,307,707 ÷ 4 = 92,576,926.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 92,576,926.75 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 | 370,307,707 | |
| -1 | 370,307,707 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 2,081 | 2,311 | 14,567 | 16,177 | 22,891 | 25,421 | 160,237 | 177,947 | 4,809,191 | 33,664,337 | 52,901,101 | 370,307,707 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -2,081 | -2,311 | -14,567 | -16,177 | -22,891 | -25,421 | -160,237 | -177,947 | -4,809,191 | -33,664,337 | -52,901,101 | -370,307,707 |
