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 269,967,593, 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 | 269,967,593 | |
| -1 | -269,967,593 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 269,967,593.
Example:
1 x 269,967,593 = 269,967,593
and
-1 x -269,967,593 = 269,967,593
Notice both answers equal 269,967,593
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 269,967,593 and divide it by 2:
269,967,593 ÷ 2 = 134,983,796.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 134,983,796.5 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 | 269,967,593 | |
| -1 | -269,967,593 |
Now, we try dividing 269,967,593 by 3:
269,967,593 ÷ 3 = 89,989,197.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 89,989,197.6667 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 | 269,967,593 | |
| -1 | -269,967,593 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
269,967,593 ÷ 4 = 67,491,898.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 67,491,898.25 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 | 269,967,593 | |
| -1 | 269,967,593 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 269 | 311 | 461 | 1,883 | 2,177 | 3,227 | 83,659 | 124,009 | 143,371 | 585,613 | 868,063 | 1,003,597 | 38,566,799 | 269,967,593 |
| -1 | -7 | -269 | -311 | -461 | -1,883 | -2,177 | -3,227 | -83,659 | -124,009 | -143,371 | -585,613 | -868,063 | -1,003,597 | -38,566,799 | -269,967,593 |
