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 65,744,327, 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 | 65,744,327 | |
| -1 | -65,744,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 65,744,327.
Example:
1 x 65,744,327 = 65,744,327
and
-1 x -65,744,327 = 65,744,327
Notice both answers equal 65,744,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 65,744,327 and divide it by 2:
65,744,327 ÷ 2 = 32,872,163.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 32,872,163.5 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 | 65,744,327 | |
| -1 | -65,744,327 |
Now, we try dividing 65,744,327 by 3:
65,744,327 ÷ 3 = 21,914,775.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,914,775.6667 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 | 65,744,327 | |
| -1 | -65,744,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
65,744,327 ÷ 4 = 16,436,081.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,436,081.75 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 | 65,744,327 | |
| -1 | 65,744,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 53 | 253 | 583 | 1,219 | 4,903 | 13,409 | 53,933 | 112,769 | 259,859 | 1,240,459 | 2,858,449 | 5,976,757 | 65,744,327 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -53 | -253 | -583 | -1,219 | -4,903 | -13,409 | -53,933 | -112,769 | -259,859 | -1,240,459 | -2,858,449 | -5,976,757 | -65,744,327 |
