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 273,252,133, 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 | 273,252,133 | |
| -1 | -273,252,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 273,252,133.
Example:
1 x 273,252,133 = 273,252,133
and
-1 x -273,252,133 = 273,252,133
Notice both answers equal 273,252,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 273,252,133 and divide it by 2:
273,252,133 ÷ 2 = 136,626,066.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 136,626,066.5 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 | 273,252,133 | |
| -1 | -273,252,133 |
Now, we try dividing 273,252,133 by 3:
273,252,133 ÷ 3 = 91,084,044.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 91,084,044.3333 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 | 273,252,133 | |
| -1 | -273,252,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
273,252,133 ÷ 4 = 68,313,033.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 68,313,033.25 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 | 273,252,133 | |
| -1 | 273,252,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 673 | 4,711 | 5,273 | 7,403 | 36,911 | 51,821 | 58,003 | 406,021 | 3,548,729 | 24,841,103 | 39,036,019 | 273,252,133 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -673 | -4,711 | -5,273 | -7,403 | -36,911 | -51,821 | -58,003 | -406,021 | -3,548,729 | -24,841,103 | -39,036,019 | -273,252,133 |
