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 27,585,115, 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 | 27,585,115 | |
| -1 | -27,585,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,585,115.
Example:
1 x 27,585,115 = 27,585,115
and
-1 x -27,585,115 = 27,585,115
Notice both answers equal 27,585,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,585,115 and divide it by 2:
27,585,115 ÷ 2 = 13,792,557.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,792,557.5 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 | 27,585,115 | |
| -1 | -27,585,115 |
Now, we try dividing 27,585,115 by 3:
27,585,115 ÷ 3 = 9,195,038.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,195,038.3333 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 | 27,585,115 | |
| -1 | -27,585,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,585,115 ÷ 4 = 6,896,278.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,896,278.75 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 | 27,585,115 | |
| -1 | 27,585,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 61 | 149 | 305 | 607 | 745 | 3,035 | 9,089 | 37,027 | 45,445 | 90,443 | 185,135 | 452,215 | 5,517,023 | 27,585,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -61 | -149 | -305 | -607 | -745 | -3,035 | -9,089 | -37,027 | -45,445 | -90,443 | -185,135 | -452,215 | -5,517,023 | -27,585,115 |
