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 65,575,015, 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 | 65,575,015 | |
| -1 | -65,575,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 65,575,015.
Example:
1 x 65,575,015 = 65,575,015
and
-1 x -65,575,015 = 65,575,015
Notice both answers equal 65,575,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 65,575,015 and divide it by 2:
65,575,015 ÷ 2 = 32,787,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,787,507.5 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 | 65,575,015 | |
| -1 | -65,575,015 |
Now, we try dividing 65,575,015 by 3:
65,575,015 ÷ 3 = 21,858,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,858,338.3333 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 | 65,575,015 | |
| -1 | -65,575,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
65,575,015 ÷ 4 = 16,393,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,393,753.75 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 | 65,575,015 | |
| -1 | 65,575,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 947 | 1,259 | 4,735 | 6,295 | 10,417 | 13,849 | 52,085 | 69,245 | 1,192,273 | 5,961,365 | 13,115,003 | 65,575,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -947 | -1,259 | -4,735 | -6,295 | -10,417 | -13,849 | -52,085 | -69,245 | -1,192,273 | -5,961,365 | -13,115,003 | -65,575,015 |
