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 27,341,347, 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 | 27,341,347 | |
| -1 | -27,341,347 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,341,347.
Example:
1 x 27,341,347 = 27,341,347
and
-1 x -27,341,347 = 27,341,347
Notice both answers equal 27,341,347
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,341,347 and divide it by 2:
27,341,347 ÷ 2 = 13,670,673.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,670,673.5 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 | 27,341,347 | |
| -1 | -27,341,347 |
Now, we try dividing 27,341,347 by 3:
27,341,347 ÷ 3 = 9,113,782.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,113,782.3333 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 | 27,341,347 | |
| -1 | -27,341,347 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,341,347 ÷ 4 = 6,835,336.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,835,336.75 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 | 27,341,347 | |
| -1 | 27,341,347 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 73 | 79 | 431 | 803 | 869 | 4,741 | 5,767 | 31,463 | 34,049 | 63,437 | 346,093 | 374,539 | 2,485,577 | 27,341,347 |
| -1 | -11 | -73 | -79 | -431 | -803 | -869 | -4,741 | -5,767 | -31,463 | -34,049 | -63,437 | -346,093 | -374,539 | -2,485,577 | -27,341,347 |
