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 271,070,701, 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 | 271,070,701 | |
| -1 | -271,070,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 271,070,701.
Example:
1 x 271,070,701 = 271,070,701
and
-1 x -271,070,701 = 271,070,701
Notice both answers equal 271,070,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 271,070,701 and divide it by 2:
271,070,701 ÷ 2 = 135,535,350.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 135,535,350.5 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 | 271,070,701 | |
| -1 | -271,070,701 |
Now, we try dividing 271,070,701 by 3:
271,070,701 ÷ 3 = 90,356,900.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 90,356,900.3333 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 | 271,070,701 | |
| -1 | -271,070,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
271,070,701 ÷ 4 = 67,767,675.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 67,767,675.25 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 | 271,070,701 | |
| -1 | 271,070,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 209 | 283 | 3,113 | 4,583 | 5,377 | 50,413 | 59,147 | 87,077 | 957,847 | 1,296,989 | 14,266,879 | 24,642,791 | 271,070,701 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -209 | -283 | -3,113 | -4,583 | -5,377 | -50,413 | -59,147 | -87,077 | -957,847 | -1,296,989 | -14,266,879 | -24,642,791 | -271,070,701 |
