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 27,594,859, 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 | 27,594,859 | |
| -1 | -27,594,859 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,594,859.
Example:
1 x 27,594,859 = 27,594,859
and
-1 x -27,594,859 = 27,594,859
Notice both answers equal 27,594,859
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,594,859 and divide it by 2:
27,594,859 ÷ 2 = 13,797,429.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,797,429.5 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 | 27,594,859 | |
| -1 | -27,594,859 |
Now, we try dividing 27,594,859 by 3:
27,594,859 ÷ 3 = 9,198,286.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,198,286.3333 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 | 27,594,859 | |
| -1 | -27,594,859 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,594,859 ÷ 4 = 6,898,714.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,898,714.75 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 | 27,594,859 | |
| -1 | 27,594,859 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 37 | 323 | 629 | 703 | 2,309 | 11,951 | 39,253 | 43,871 | 85,433 | 745,807 | 1,452,361 | 1,623,227 | 27,594,859 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -37 | -323 | -629 | -703 | -2,309 | -11,951 | -39,253 | -43,871 | -85,433 | -745,807 | -1,452,361 | -1,623,227 | -27,594,859 |
