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 27,532,835, 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 | 27,532,835 | |
| -1 | -27,532,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,532,835.
Example:
1 x 27,532,835 = 27,532,835
and
-1 x -27,532,835 = 27,532,835
Notice both answers equal 27,532,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,532,835 and divide it by 2:
27,532,835 ÷ 2 = 13,766,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,766,417.5 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 | 27,532,835 | |
| -1 | -27,532,835 |
Now, we try dividing 27,532,835 by 3:
27,532,835 ÷ 3 = 9,177,611.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,177,611.6667 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 | 27,532,835 | |
| -1 | -27,532,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,532,835 ÷ 4 = 6,883,208.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,883,208.75 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 | 27,532,835 | |
| -1 | 27,532,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 47 | 55 | 235 | 517 | 2,585 | 10,651 | 53,255 | 117,161 | 500,597 | 585,805 | 2,502,985 | 5,506,567 | 27,532,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -47 | -55 | -235 | -517 | -2,585 | -10,651 | -53,255 | -117,161 | -500,597 | -585,805 | -2,502,985 | -5,506,567 | -27,532,835 |
