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 67,712,257, 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 | 67,712,257 | |
| -1 | -67,712,257 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 67,712,257.
Example:
1 x 67,712,257 = 67,712,257
and
-1 x -67,712,257 = 67,712,257
Notice both answers equal 67,712,257
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 67,712,257 and divide it by 2:
67,712,257 ÷ 2 = 33,856,128.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 33,856,128.5 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 | 67,712,257 | |
| -1 | -67,712,257 |
Now, we try dividing 67,712,257 by 3:
67,712,257 ÷ 3 = 22,570,752.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 22,570,752.3333 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 | 67,712,257 | |
| -1 | -67,712,257 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
67,712,257 ÷ 4 = 16,928,064.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 16,928,064.25 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 | 67,712,257 | |
| -1 | 67,712,257 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 61 | 703 | 1,159 | 1,579 | 2,257 | 30,001 | 42,883 | 58,423 | 96,319 | 1,110,037 | 1,830,061 | 3,563,803 | 67,712,257 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -61 | -703 | -1,159 | -1,579 | -2,257 | -30,001 | -42,883 | -58,423 | -96,319 | -1,110,037 | -1,830,061 | -3,563,803 | -67,712,257 |
