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 69,335,285, 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 | 69,335,285 | |
| -1 | -69,335,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 69,335,285.
Example:
1 x 69,335,285 = 69,335,285
and
-1 x -69,335,285 = 69,335,285
Notice both answers equal 69,335,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 69,335,285 and divide it by 2:
69,335,285 ÷ 2 = 34,667,642.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 34,667,642.5 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 | 69,335,285 | |
| -1 | -69,335,285 |
Now, we try dividing 69,335,285 by 3:
69,335,285 ÷ 3 = 23,111,761.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 23,111,761.6667 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 | 69,335,285 | |
| -1 | -69,335,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
69,335,285 ÷ 4 = 17,333,821.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 17,333,821.25 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 | 69,335,285 | |
| -1 | 69,335,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 139 | 335 | 695 | 1,489 | 7,445 | 9,313 | 46,565 | 99,763 | 206,971 | 498,815 | 1,034,855 | 13,867,057 | 69,335,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -139 | -335 | -695 | -1,489 | -7,445 | -9,313 | -46,565 | -99,763 | -206,971 | -498,815 | -1,034,855 | -13,867,057 | -69,335,285 |
