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 299,927,095, 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 | 299,927,095 | |
| -1 | -299,927,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 299,927,095.
Example:
1 x 299,927,095 = 299,927,095
and
-1 x -299,927,095 = 299,927,095
Notice both answers equal 299,927,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 299,927,095 and divide it by 2:
299,927,095 ÷ 2 = 149,963,547.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 149,963,547.5 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 | 299,927,095 | |
| -1 | -299,927,095 |
Now, we try dividing 299,927,095 by 3:
299,927,095 ÷ 3 = 99,975,698.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 99,975,698.3333 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 | 299,927,095 | |
| -1 | -299,927,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
299,927,095 ÷ 4 = 74,981,773.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 74,981,773.75 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 | 299,927,095 | |
| -1 | 299,927,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 41 | 65 | 205 | 533 | 2,665 | 112,543 | 562,715 | 1,463,059 | 4,614,263 | 7,315,295 | 23,071,315 | 59,985,419 | 299,927,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -41 | -65 | -205 | -533 | -2,665 | -112,543 | -562,715 | -1,463,059 | -4,614,263 | -7,315,295 | -23,071,315 | -59,985,419 | -299,927,095 |
