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 27,301,135, 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 | 27,301,135 | |
| -1 | -27,301,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,301,135.
Example:
1 x 27,301,135 = 27,301,135
and
-1 x -27,301,135 = 27,301,135
Notice both answers equal 27,301,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,301,135 and divide it by 2:
27,301,135 ÷ 2 = 13,650,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,650,567.5 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 | 27,301,135 | |
| -1 | -27,301,135 |
Now, we try dividing 27,301,135 by 3:
27,301,135 ÷ 3 = 9,100,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,100,378.3333 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 | 27,301,135 | |
| -1 | -27,301,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,301,135 ÷ 4 = 6,825,283.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,825,283.75 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 | 27,301,135 | |
| -1 | 27,301,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 97 | 181 | 311 | 485 | 905 | 1,555 | 17,557 | 30,167 | 56,291 | 87,785 | 150,835 | 281,455 | 5,460,227 | 27,301,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -97 | -181 | -311 | -485 | -905 | -1,555 | -17,557 | -30,167 | -56,291 | -87,785 | -150,835 | -281,455 | -5,460,227 | -27,301,135 |
