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 376,760,531, 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 | 376,760,531 | |
| -1 | -376,760,531 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 376,760,531.
Example:
1 x 376,760,531 = 376,760,531
and
-1 x -376,760,531 = 376,760,531
Notice both answers equal 376,760,531
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 376,760,531 and divide it by 2:
376,760,531 ÷ 2 = 188,380,265.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 188,380,265.5 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 | 376,760,531 | |
| -1 | -376,760,531 |
Now, we try dividing 376,760,531 by 3:
376,760,531 ÷ 3 = 125,586,843.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,586,843.6667 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 | 376,760,531 | |
| -1 | -376,760,531 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
376,760,531 ÷ 4 = 94,190,132.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 94,190,132.75 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 | 376,760,531 | |
| -1 | 376,760,531 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 199 | 307 | 881 | 1,393 | 2,149 | 6,167 | 61,093 | 175,319 | 270,467 | 427,651 | 1,227,233 | 1,893,269 | 53,822,933 | 376,760,531 |
| -1 | -7 | -199 | -307 | -881 | -1,393 | -2,149 | -6,167 | -61,093 | -175,319 | -270,467 | -427,651 | -1,227,233 | -1,893,269 | -53,822,933 | -376,760,531 |
