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 64,851,743, 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 | 64,851,743 | |
| -1 | -64,851,743 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 64,851,743.
Example:
1 x 64,851,743 = 64,851,743
and
-1 x -64,851,743 = 64,851,743
Notice both answers equal 64,851,743
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 64,851,743 and divide it by 2:
64,851,743 ÷ 2 = 32,425,871.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,425,871.5 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 | 64,851,743 | |
| -1 | -64,851,743 |
Now, we try dividing 64,851,743 by 3:
64,851,743 ÷ 3 = 21,617,247.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,617,247.6667 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 | 64,851,743 | |
| -1 | -64,851,743 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
64,851,743 ÷ 4 = 16,212,935.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,212,935.75 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 | 64,851,743 | |
| -1 | 64,851,743 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 29 | 253 | 319 | 667 | 7,337 | 8,839 | 97,229 | 203,297 | 256,331 | 2,236,267 | 2,819,641 | 5,895,613 | 64,851,743 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -29 | -253 | -319 | -667 | -7,337 | -8,839 | -97,229 | -203,297 | -256,331 | -2,236,267 | -2,819,641 | -5,895,613 | -64,851,743 |
