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 374,000,705, 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 | 374,000,705 | |
| -1 | -374,000,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 374,000,705.
Example:
1 x 374,000,705 = 374,000,705
and
-1 x -374,000,705 = 374,000,705
Notice both answers equal 374,000,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 374,000,705 and divide it by 2:
374,000,705 ÷ 2 = 187,000,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 187,000,352.5 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 | 374,000,705 | |
| -1 | -374,000,705 |
Now, we try dividing 374,000,705 by 3:
374,000,705 ÷ 3 = 124,666,901.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 124,666,901.6667 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 | 374,000,705 | |
| -1 | -374,000,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
374,000,705 ÷ 4 = 93,500,176.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 93,500,176.25 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 | 374,000,705 | |
| -1 | 374,000,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 3,835 | 97,523 | 487,615 | 1,267,799 | 5,753,857 | 6,338,995 | 28,769,285 | 74,800,141 | 374,000,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -3,835 | -97,523 | -487,615 | -1,267,799 | -5,753,857 | -6,338,995 | -28,769,285 | -74,800,141 | -374,000,705 |
