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 65,017,715, 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 | 65,017,715 | |
| -1 | -65,017,715 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 65,017,715.
Example:
1 x 65,017,715 = 65,017,715
and
-1 x -65,017,715 = 65,017,715
Notice both answers equal 65,017,715
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 65,017,715 and divide it by 2:
65,017,715 ÷ 2 = 32,508,857.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,508,857.5 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 | 65,017,715 | |
| -1 | -65,017,715 |
Now, we try dividing 65,017,715 by 3:
65,017,715 ÷ 3 = 21,672,571.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,672,571.6667 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 | 65,017,715 | |
| -1 | -65,017,715 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
65,017,715 ÷ 4 = 16,254,428.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,254,428.75 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 | 65,017,715 | |
| -1 | 65,017,715 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 97,771 | 488,855 | 684,397 | 1,857,649 | 3,421,985 | 9,288,245 | 13,003,543 | 65,017,715 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -97,771 | -488,855 | -684,397 | -1,857,649 | -3,421,985 | -9,288,245 | -13,003,543 | -65,017,715 |
