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 377,304,655, 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 | 377,304,655 | |
| -1 | -377,304,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 377,304,655.
Example:
1 x 377,304,655 = 377,304,655
and
-1 x -377,304,655 = 377,304,655
Notice both answers equal 377,304,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 377,304,655 and divide it by 2:
377,304,655 ÷ 2 = 188,652,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 188,652,327.5 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 | 377,304,655 | |
| -1 | -377,304,655 |
Now, we try dividing 377,304,655 by 3:
377,304,655 ÷ 3 = 125,768,218.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 125,768,218.3333 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 | 377,304,655 | |
| -1 | -377,304,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
377,304,655 ÷ 4 = 94,326,163.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 94,326,163.75 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 | 377,304,655 | |
| -1 | 377,304,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 49 | 65 | 91 | 245 | 455 | 637 | 3,185 | 118,463 | 592,315 | 829,241 | 1,540,019 | 4,146,205 | 5,804,687 | 7,700,095 | 10,780,133 | 29,023,435 | 53,900,665 | 75,460,931 | 377,304,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -49 | -65 | -91 | -245 | -455 | -637 | -3,185 | -118,463 | -592,315 | -829,241 | -1,540,019 | -4,146,205 | -5,804,687 | -7,700,095 | -10,780,133 | -29,023,435 | -53,900,665 | -75,460,931 | -377,304,655 |
