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 273,750,383, 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 | 273,750,383 | |
| -1 | -273,750,383 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 273,750,383.
Example:
1 x 273,750,383 = 273,750,383
and
-1 x -273,750,383 = 273,750,383
Notice both answers equal 273,750,383
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 273,750,383 and divide it by 2:
273,750,383 ÷ 2 = 136,875,191.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 136,875,191.5 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 | 273,750,383 | |
| -1 | -273,750,383 |
Now, we try dividing 273,750,383 by 3:
273,750,383 ÷ 3 = 91,250,127.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 91,250,127.6667 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 | 273,750,383 | |
| -1 | -273,750,383 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
273,750,383 ÷ 4 = 68,437,595.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 68,437,595.75 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 | 273,750,383 | |
| -1 | 273,750,383 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 59 | 89 | 1,409 | 2,183 | 3,293 | 5,251 | 52,133 | 83,131 | 125,401 | 194,287 | 3,075,847 | 4,639,837 | 7,398,659 | 273,750,383 |
| -1 | -37 | -59 | -89 | -1,409 | -2,183 | -3,293 | -5,251 | -52,133 | -83,131 | -125,401 | -194,287 | -3,075,847 | -4,639,837 | -7,398,659 | -273,750,383 |
