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 27,669,383, 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 | 27,669,383 | |
| -1 | -27,669,383 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,669,383.
Example:
1 x 27,669,383 = 27,669,383
and
-1 x -27,669,383 = 27,669,383
Notice both answers equal 27,669,383
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,669,383 and divide it by 2:
27,669,383 ÷ 2 = 13,834,691.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,834,691.5 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 | 27,669,383 | |
| -1 | -27,669,383 |
Now, we try dividing 27,669,383 by 3:
27,669,383 ÷ 3 = 9,223,127.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,223,127.6667 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 | 27,669,383 | |
| -1 | -27,669,383 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,669,383 ÷ 4 = 6,917,345.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,917,345.75 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 | 27,669,383 | |
| -1 | 27,669,383 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 229 | 287 | 421 | 1,603 | 2,947 | 9,389 | 17,261 | 65,723 | 96,409 | 120,827 | 674,863 | 3,952,769 | 27,669,383 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -229 | -287 | -421 | -1,603 | -2,947 | -9,389 | -17,261 | -65,723 | -96,409 | -120,827 | -674,863 | -3,952,769 | -27,669,383 |
