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 375,501,419, 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 | 375,501,419 | |
| -1 | -375,501,419 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 375,501,419.
Example:
1 x 375,501,419 = 375,501,419
and
-1 x -375,501,419 = 375,501,419
Notice both answers equal 375,501,419
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 375,501,419 and divide it by 2:
375,501,419 ÷ 2 = 187,750,709.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 187,750,709.5 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 | 375,501,419 | |
| -1 | -375,501,419 |
Now, we try dividing 375,501,419 by 3:
375,501,419 ÷ 3 = 125,167,139.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,167,139.6667 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 | 375,501,419 | |
| -1 | -375,501,419 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
375,501,419 ÷ 4 = 93,875,354.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 93,875,354.75 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 | 375,501,419 | |
| -1 | 375,501,419 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 37 | 443 | 739 | 1,147 | 13,733 | 16,391 | 22,909 | 27,343 | 327,377 | 508,121 | 847,633 | 10,148,687 | 12,112,949 | 375,501,419 |
| -1 | -31 | -37 | -443 | -739 | -1,147 | -13,733 | -16,391 | -22,909 | -27,343 | -327,377 | -508,121 | -847,633 | -10,148,687 | -12,112,949 | -375,501,419 |
