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 375,714,059, 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 | 375,714,059 | |
| -1 | -375,714,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 375,714,059.
Example:
1 x 375,714,059 = 375,714,059
and
-1 x -375,714,059 = 375,714,059
Notice both answers equal 375,714,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 375,714,059 and divide it by 2:
375,714,059 ÷ 2 = 187,857,029.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 187,857,029.5 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 | 375,714,059 | |
| -1 | -375,714,059 |
Now, we try dividing 375,714,059 by 3:
375,714,059 ÷ 3 = 125,238,019.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,238,019.6667 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 | 375,714,059 | |
| -1 | -375,714,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
375,714,059 ÷ 4 = 93,928,514.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 93,928,514.75 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 | 375,714,059 | |
| -1 | 375,714,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 443 | 3,101 | 7,127 | 7,531 | 49,889 | 52,717 | 121,159 | 848,113 | 3,157,261 | 22,100,827 | 53,673,437 | 375,714,059 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -443 | -3,101 | -7,127 | -7,531 | -49,889 | -52,717 | -121,159 | -848,113 | -3,157,261 | -22,100,827 | -53,673,437 | -375,714,059 |
