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 65,665,343, 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 | 65,665,343 | |
| -1 | -65,665,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 65,665,343.
Example:
1 x 65,665,343 = 65,665,343
and
-1 x -65,665,343 = 65,665,343
Notice both answers equal 65,665,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 65,665,343 and divide it by 2:
65,665,343 ÷ 2 = 32,832,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,832,671.5 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 | 65,665,343 | |
| -1 | -65,665,343 |
Now, we try dividing 65,665,343 by 3:
65,665,343 ÷ 3 = 21,888,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,888,447.6667 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 | 65,665,343 | |
| -1 | -65,665,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
65,665,343 ÷ 4 = 16,416,335.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,416,335.75 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 | 65,665,343 | |
| -1 | 65,665,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 43 | 149 | 277 | 1,591 | 5,513 | 6,407 | 10,249 | 11,911 | 41,273 | 237,059 | 440,707 | 1,527,101 | 1,774,739 | 65,665,343 |
| -1 | -37 | -43 | -149 | -277 | -1,591 | -5,513 | -6,407 | -10,249 | -11,911 | -41,273 | -237,059 | -440,707 | -1,527,101 | -1,774,739 | -65,665,343 |
