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 375,105,463, 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 | 375,105,463 | |
| -1 | -375,105,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 375,105,463.
Example:
1 x 375,105,463 = 375,105,463
and
-1 x -375,105,463 = 375,105,463
Notice both answers equal 375,105,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 375,105,463 and divide it by 2:
375,105,463 ÷ 2 = 187,552,731.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 187,552,731.5 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 | 375,105,463 | |
| -1 | -375,105,463 |
Now, we try dividing 375,105,463 by 3:
375,105,463 ÷ 3 = 125,035,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,035,154.3333 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 | 375,105,463 | |
| -1 | -375,105,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
375,105,463 ÷ 4 = 93,776,365.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 93,776,365.75 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 | 375,105,463 | |
| -1 | 375,105,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 67 | 73 | 271 | 283 | 4,891 | 18,157 | 18,961 | 19,783 | 20,659 | 76,693 | 1,325,461 | 1,384,153 | 5,138,431 | 5,598,589 | 375,105,463 |
| -1 | -67 | -73 | -271 | -283 | -4,891 | -18,157 | -18,961 | -19,783 | -20,659 | -76,693 | -1,325,461 | -1,384,153 | -5,138,431 | -5,598,589 | -375,105,463 |
