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 39,600,769, 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 | 39,600,769 | |
| -1 | -39,600,769 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 39,600,769.
Example:
1 x 39,600,769 = 39,600,769
and
-1 x -39,600,769 = 39,600,769
Notice both answers equal 39,600,769
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 39,600,769 and divide it by 2:
39,600,769 ÷ 2 = 19,800,384.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 19,800,384.5 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 | 39,600,769 | |
| -1 | -39,600,769 |
Now, we try dividing 39,600,769 by 3:
39,600,769 ÷ 3 = 13,200,256.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 13,200,256.3333 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 | 39,600,769 | |
| -1 | -39,600,769 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
39,600,769 ÷ 4 = 9,900,192.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,900,192.25 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 | 39,600,769 | |
| -1 | 39,600,769 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 19 | 221 | 247 | 323 | 4,199 | 9,431 | 122,603 | 160,327 | 179,189 | 2,084,251 | 2,329,457 | 3,046,213 | 39,600,769 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -19 | -221 | -247 | -323 | -4,199 | -9,431 | -122,603 | -160,327 | -179,189 | -2,084,251 | -2,329,457 | -3,046,213 | -39,600,769 |
