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 42,364,267, 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 | 42,364,267 | |
| -1 | -42,364,267 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 42,364,267.
Example:
1 x 42,364,267 = 42,364,267
and
-1 x -42,364,267 = 42,364,267
Notice both answers equal 42,364,267
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 42,364,267 and divide it by 2:
42,364,267 ÷ 2 = 21,182,133.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,182,133.5 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 | 42,364,267 | |
| -1 | -42,364,267 |
Now, we try dividing 42,364,267 by 3:
42,364,267 ÷ 3 = 14,121,422.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,121,422.3333 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 | 42,364,267 | |
| -1 | -42,364,267 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
42,364,267 ÷ 4 = 10,591,066.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,591,066.75 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 | 42,364,267 | |
| -1 | 42,364,267 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 89 | 109 | 397 | 979 | 1,199 | 4,367 | 9,701 | 35,333 | 43,273 | 106,711 | 388,663 | 476,003 | 3,851,297 | 42,364,267 |
| -1 | -11 | -89 | -109 | -397 | -979 | -1,199 | -4,367 | -9,701 | -35,333 | -43,273 | -106,711 | -388,663 | -476,003 | -3,851,297 | -42,364,267 |
