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 27,326,735, 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 | 27,326,735 | |
| -1 | -27,326,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,326,735.
Example:
1 x 27,326,735 = 27,326,735
and
-1 x -27,326,735 = 27,326,735
Notice both answers equal 27,326,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,326,735 and divide it by 2:
27,326,735 ÷ 2 = 13,663,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,663,367.5 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 | 27,326,735 | |
| -1 | -27,326,735 |
Now, we try dividing 27,326,735 by 3:
27,326,735 ÷ 3 = 9,108,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,108,911.6667 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 | 27,326,735 | |
| -1 | -27,326,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,326,735 ÷ 4 = 6,831,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,831,683.75 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 | 27,326,735 | |
| -1 | 27,326,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 59 | 85 | 295 | 1,003 | 5,015 | 5,449 | 27,245 | 92,633 | 321,491 | 463,165 | 1,607,455 | 5,465,347 | 27,326,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -59 | -85 | -295 | -1,003 | -5,015 | -5,449 | -27,245 | -92,633 | -321,491 | -463,165 | -1,607,455 | -5,465,347 | -27,326,735 |
