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 70,634,609, 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 | 70,634,609 | |
| -1 | -70,634,609 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 70,634,609.
Example:
1 x 70,634,609 = 70,634,609
and
-1 x -70,634,609 = 70,634,609
Notice both answers equal 70,634,609
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 70,634,609 and divide it by 2:
70,634,609 ÷ 2 = 35,317,304.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 35,317,304.5 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 | 70,634,609 | |
| -1 | -70,634,609 |
Now, we try dividing 70,634,609 by 3:
70,634,609 ÷ 3 = 23,544,869.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 23,544,869.6667 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 | 70,634,609 | |
| -1 | -70,634,609 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
70,634,609 ÷ 4 = 17,658,652.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 17,658,652.25 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 | 70,634,609 | |
| -1 | 70,634,609 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 323 | 379 | 577 | 6,443 | 7,201 | 9,809 | 10,963 | 122,417 | 186,371 | 218,683 | 3,717,611 | 4,154,977 | 70,634,609 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -323 | -379 | -577 | -6,443 | -7,201 | -9,809 | -10,963 | -122,417 | -186,371 | -218,683 | -3,717,611 | -4,154,977 | -70,634,609 |
