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 374,061,355, 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 | 374,061,355 | |
| -1 | -374,061,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 374,061,355.
Example:
1 x 374,061,355 = 374,061,355
and
-1 x -374,061,355 = 374,061,355
Notice both answers equal 374,061,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 374,061,355 and divide it by 2:
374,061,355 ÷ 2 = 187,030,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 187,030,677.5 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 | 374,061,355 | |
| -1 | -374,061,355 |
Now, we try dividing 374,061,355 by 3:
374,061,355 ÷ 3 = 124,687,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 124,687,118.3333 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 | 374,061,355 | |
| -1 | -374,061,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
374,061,355 ÷ 4 = 93,515,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 93,515,338.75 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 | 374,061,355 | |
| -1 | 374,061,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 127 | 457 | 635 | 1,289 | 2,285 | 6,445 | 58,039 | 163,703 | 290,195 | 589,073 | 818,515 | 2,945,365 | 74,812,271 | 374,061,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -127 | -457 | -635 | -1,289 | -2,285 | -6,445 | -58,039 | -163,703 | -290,195 | -589,073 | -818,515 | -2,945,365 | -74,812,271 | -374,061,355 |
