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 267,767,255, 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 | 267,767,255 | |
| -1 | -267,767,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 267,767,255.
Example:
1 x 267,767,255 = 267,767,255
and
-1 x -267,767,255 = 267,767,255
Notice both answers equal 267,767,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 267,767,255 and divide it by 2:
267,767,255 ÷ 2 = 133,883,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 133,883,627.5 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 | 267,767,255 | |
| -1 | -267,767,255 |
Now, we try dividing 267,767,255 by 3:
267,767,255 ÷ 3 = 89,255,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 89,255,751.6667 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 | 267,767,255 | |
| -1 | -267,767,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
267,767,255 ÷ 4 = 66,941,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 66,941,813.75 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 | 267,767,255 | |
| -1 | 267,767,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 450,029 | 2,250,145 | 3,150,203 | 7,650,493 | 15,751,015 | 38,252,465 | 53,553,451 | 267,767,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -450,029 | -2,250,145 | -3,150,203 | -7,650,493 | -15,751,015 | -38,252,465 | -53,553,451 | -267,767,255 |
