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 273,064,363, 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 | 273,064,363 | |
| -1 | -273,064,363 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 273,064,363.
Example:
1 x 273,064,363 = 273,064,363
and
-1 x -273,064,363 = 273,064,363
Notice both answers equal 273,064,363
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 273,064,363 and divide it by 2:
273,064,363 ÷ 2 = 136,532,181.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 136,532,181.5 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 | 273,064,363 | |
| -1 | -273,064,363 |
Now, we try dividing 273,064,363 by 3:
273,064,363 ÷ 3 = 91,021,454.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 91,021,454.3333 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 | 273,064,363 | |
| -1 | -273,064,363 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
273,064,363 ÷ 4 = 68,266,090.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 68,266,090.75 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 | 273,064,363 | |
| -1 | 273,064,363 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 347 | 3,817 | 4,511 | 5,503 | 49,621 | 60,533 | 71,539 | 786,929 | 1,909,541 | 21,004,951 | 24,824,033 | 273,064,363 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -347 | -3,817 | -4,511 | -5,503 | -49,621 | -60,533 | -71,539 | -786,929 | -1,909,541 | -21,004,951 | -24,824,033 | -273,064,363 |
