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 27,056,741, 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 | 27,056,741 | |
| -1 | -27,056,741 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,056,741.
Example:
1 x 27,056,741 = 27,056,741
and
-1 x -27,056,741 = 27,056,741
Notice both answers equal 27,056,741
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,056,741 and divide it by 2:
27,056,741 ÷ 2 = 13,528,370.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,528,370.5 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 | 27,056,741 | |
| -1 | -27,056,741 |
Now, we try dividing 27,056,741 by 3:
27,056,741 ÷ 3 = 9,018,913.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,018,913.6667 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 | 27,056,741 | |
| -1 | -27,056,741 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,056,741 ÷ 4 = 6,764,185.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,764,185.25 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 | 27,056,741 | |
| -1 | 27,056,741 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 211 | 323 | 397 | 3,587 | 4,009 | 6,749 | 7,543 | 68,153 | 83,767 | 128,231 | 1,424,039 | 1,591,573 | 27,056,741 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -211 | -323 | -397 | -3,587 | -4,009 | -6,749 | -7,543 | -68,153 | -83,767 | -128,231 | -1,424,039 | -1,591,573 | -27,056,741 |
