-2*2*2*7*7

This question is too vague; if you mean "factors of -392" there are too many to list, as there are fractions and such. Usually, only positive integers are of interest, so -392 is analogous to 392. It's an even #, so you won't have trouble finding prime divisors. Start dividing by 2, then 3, then 4.... The biggest factor a number could have is it's square root. Hope that helps

Let's factor 392, then put a minus sign.
392/2 = 196
196/2 = 98
98/2 = 49
49 = 7*7
7 is prime
Answer -2³ * 7².
