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 716,302,375, 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 | 716,302,375 | |
| -1 | -716,302,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 716,302,375.
Example:
1 x 716,302,375 = 716,302,375
and
-1 x -716,302,375 = 716,302,375
Notice both answers equal 716,302,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 716,302,375 and divide it by 2:
716,302,375 ÷ 2 = 358,151,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 358,151,187.5 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 | 716,302,375 | |
| -1 | -716,302,375 |
Now, we try dividing 716,302,375 by 3:
716,302,375 ÷ 3 = 238,767,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 238,767,458.3333 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 | 716,302,375 | |
| -1 | -716,302,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
716,302,375 ÷ 4 = 179,075,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 179,075,593.75 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 | 716,302,375 | |
| -1 | 716,302,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 475 | 2,375 | 301,601 | 1,508,005 | 5,730,419 | 7,540,025 | 28,652,095 | 37,700,125 | 143,260,475 | 716,302,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -475 | -2,375 | -301,601 | -1,508,005 | -5,730,419 | -7,540,025 | -28,652,095 | -37,700,125 | -143,260,475 | -716,302,375 |
