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 67,439,123, 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 | 67,439,123 | |
| -1 | -67,439,123 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 67,439,123.
Example:
1 x 67,439,123 = 67,439,123
and
-1 x -67,439,123 = 67,439,123
Notice both answers equal 67,439,123
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 67,439,123 and divide it by 2:
67,439,123 ÷ 2 = 33,719,561.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 33,719,561.5 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 | 67,439,123 | |
| -1 | -67,439,123 |
Now, we try dividing 67,439,123 by 3:
67,439,123 ÷ 3 = 22,479,707.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 22,479,707.6667 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 | 67,439,123 | |
| -1 | -67,439,123 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
67,439,123 ÷ 4 = 16,859,780.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,859,780.75 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 | 67,439,123 | |
| -1 | 67,439,123 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 37 | 1,073 | 62,851 | 1,822,679 | 2,325,487 | 67,439,123 |
| -1 | -29 | -37 | -1,073 | -62,851 | -1,822,679 | -2,325,487 | -67,439,123 |
