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 376,053,107, 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 | 376,053,107 | |
| -1 | -376,053,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 376,053,107.
Example:
1 x 376,053,107 = 376,053,107
and
-1 x -376,053,107 = 376,053,107
Notice both answers equal 376,053,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 376,053,107 and divide it by 2:
376,053,107 ÷ 2 = 188,026,553.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 188,026,553.5 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 | 376,053,107 | |
| -1 | -376,053,107 |
Now, we try dividing 376,053,107 by 3:
376,053,107 ÷ 3 = 125,351,035.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,351,035.6667 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 | 376,053,107 | |
| -1 | -376,053,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
376,053,107 ÷ 4 = 94,013,276.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 94,013,276.75 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 | 376,053,107 | |
| -1 | 376,053,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 41 | 439 | 697 | 1,229 | 7,463 | 17,999 | 20,893 | 50,389 | 305,983 | 539,531 | 856,613 | 9,172,027 | 22,120,771 | 376,053,107 |
| -1 | -17 | -41 | -439 | -697 | -1,229 | -7,463 | -17,999 | -20,893 | -50,389 | -305,983 | -539,531 | -856,613 | -9,172,027 | -22,120,771 | -376,053,107 |
