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 370,445,023, 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 | 370,445,023 | |
| -1 | -370,445,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 370,445,023.
Example:
1 x 370,445,023 = 370,445,023
and
-1 x -370,445,023 = 370,445,023
Notice both answers equal 370,445,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 370,445,023 and divide it by 2:
370,445,023 ÷ 2 = 185,222,511.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 185,222,511.5 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 | 370,445,023 | |
| -1 | -370,445,023 |
Now, we try dividing 370,445,023 by 3:
370,445,023 ÷ 3 = 123,481,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 123,481,674.3333 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 | 370,445,023 | |
| -1 | -370,445,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
370,445,023 ÷ 4 = 92,611,255.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 92,611,255.75 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 | 370,445,023 | |
| -1 | 370,445,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 47 | 419 | 611 | 1,447 | 5,447 | 18,811 | 19,693 | 68,009 | 256,009 | 606,293 | 884,117 | 7,881,809 | 28,495,771 | 370,445,023 |
| -1 | -13 | -47 | -419 | -611 | -1,447 | -5,447 | -18,811 | -19,693 | -68,009 | -256,009 | -606,293 | -884,117 | -7,881,809 | -28,495,771 | -370,445,023 |
