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 274,710,127, 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 | 274,710,127 | |
| -1 | -274,710,127 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 274,710,127.
Example:
1 x 274,710,127 = 274,710,127
and
-1 x -274,710,127 = 274,710,127
Notice both answers equal 274,710,127
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 274,710,127 and divide it by 2:
274,710,127 ÷ 2 = 137,355,063.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 137,355,063.5 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 | 274,710,127 | |
| -1 | -274,710,127 |
Now, we try dividing 274,710,127 by 3:
274,710,127 ÷ 3 = 91,570,042.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 91,570,042.3333 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 | 274,710,127 | |
| -1 | -274,710,127 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
274,710,127 ÷ 4 = 68,677,531.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 68,677,531.75 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 | 274,710,127 | |
| -1 | 274,710,127 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 41 | 257 | 841 | 899 | 1,189 | 1,271 | 7,453 | 7,967 | 10,537 | 26,071 | 34,481 | 36,859 | 216,137 | 231,043 | 305,573 | 326,647 | 1,068,911 | 6,700,247 | 8,861,617 | 9,472,763 | 274,710,127 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -41 | -257 | -841 | -899 | -1,189 | -1,271 | -7,453 | -7,967 | -10,537 | -26,071 | -34,481 | -36,859 | -216,137 | -231,043 | -305,573 | -326,647 | -1,068,911 | -6,700,247 | -8,861,617 | -9,472,763 | -274,710,127 |
