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 27,711,845, 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 | 27,711,845 | |
| -1 | -27,711,845 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,711,845.
Example:
1 x 27,711,845 = 27,711,845
and
-1 x -27,711,845 = 27,711,845
Notice both answers equal 27,711,845
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,711,845 and divide it by 2:
27,711,845 ÷ 2 = 13,855,922.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,855,922.5 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 | 27,711,845 | |
| -1 | -27,711,845 |
Now, we try dividing 27,711,845 by 3:
27,711,845 ÷ 3 = 9,237,281.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,237,281.6667 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 | 27,711,845 | |
| -1 | -27,711,845 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,711,845 ÷ 4 = 6,927,961.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,927,961.25 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 | 27,711,845 | |
| -1 | 27,711,845 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 53 | 265 | 371 | 1,855 | 14,939 | 74,695 | 104,573 | 522,865 | 791,767 | 3,958,835 | 5,542,369 | 27,711,845 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -53 | -265 | -371 | -1,855 | -14,939 | -74,695 | -104,573 | -522,865 | -791,767 | -3,958,835 | -5,542,369 | -27,711,845 |
