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 65,244,403, 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 | 65,244,403 | |
| -1 | -65,244,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 65,244,403.
Example:
1 x 65,244,403 = 65,244,403
and
-1 x -65,244,403 = 65,244,403
Notice both answers equal 65,244,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 65,244,403 and divide it by 2:
65,244,403 ÷ 2 = 32,622,201.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,622,201.5 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 | 65,244,403 | |
| -1 | -65,244,403 |
Now, we try dividing 65,244,403 by 3:
65,244,403 ÷ 3 = 21,748,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,748,134.3333 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 | 65,244,403 | |
| -1 | -65,244,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
65,244,403 ÷ 4 = 16,311,100.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,311,100.75 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 | 65,244,403 | |
| -1 | 65,244,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 203 | 331 | 971 | 2,317 | 6,797 | 9,599 | 28,159 | 67,193 | 197,113 | 321,401 | 2,249,807 | 9,320,629 | 65,244,403 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -203 | -331 | -971 | -2,317 | -6,797 | -9,599 | -28,159 | -67,193 | -197,113 | -321,401 | -2,249,807 | -9,320,629 | -65,244,403 |
