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 70,461,329, 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 | 70,461,329 | |
| -1 | -70,461,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 70,461,329.
Example:
1 x 70,461,329 = 70,461,329
and
-1 x -70,461,329 = 70,461,329
Notice both answers equal 70,461,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 70,461,329 and divide it by 2:
70,461,329 ÷ 2 = 35,230,664.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 35,230,664.5 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 | 70,461,329 | |
| -1 | -70,461,329 |
Now, we try dividing 70,461,329 by 3:
70,461,329 ÷ 3 = 23,487,109.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 23,487,109.6667 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 | 70,461,329 | |
| -1 | -70,461,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
70,461,329 ÷ 4 = 17,615,332.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 17,615,332.25 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 | 70,461,329 | |
| -1 | 70,461,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 41 | 551 | 779 | 1,189 | 3,119 | 22,591 | 59,261 | 90,451 | 127,879 | 1,718,569 | 2,429,701 | 3,708,491 | 70,461,329 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -41 | -551 | -779 | -1,189 | -3,119 | -22,591 | -59,261 | -90,451 | -127,879 | -1,718,569 | -2,429,701 | -3,708,491 | -70,461,329 |
