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 270,732,625, 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 | 270,732,625 | |
| -1 | -270,732,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 270,732,625.
Example:
1 x 270,732,625 = 270,732,625
and
-1 x -270,732,625 = 270,732,625
Notice both answers equal 270,732,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 270,732,625 and divide it by 2:
270,732,625 ÷ 2 = 135,366,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 135,366,312.5 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 | 270,732,625 | |
| -1 | -270,732,625 |
Now, we try dividing 270,732,625 by 3:
270,732,625 ÷ 3 = 90,244,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 90,244,208.3333 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 | 270,732,625 | |
| -1 | -270,732,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
270,732,625 ÷ 4 = 67,683,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 67,683,156.25 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 | 270,732,625 | |
| -1 | 270,732,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 563 | 2,815 | 3,847 | 14,075 | 19,235 | 70,375 | 96,175 | 480,875 | 2,165,861 | 10,829,305 | 54,146,525 | 270,732,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -563 | -2,815 | -3,847 | -14,075 | -19,235 | -70,375 | -96,175 | -480,875 | -2,165,861 | -10,829,305 | -54,146,525 | -270,732,625 |
