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 723,130,375, 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 | 723,130,375 | |
| -1 | -723,130,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 723,130,375.
Example:
1 x 723,130,375 = 723,130,375
and
-1 x -723,130,375 = 723,130,375
Notice both answers equal 723,130,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 723,130,375 and divide it by 2:
723,130,375 ÷ 2 = 361,565,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 361,565,187.5 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 | 723,130,375 | |
| -1 | -723,130,375 |
Now, we try dividing 723,130,375 by 3:
723,130,375 ÷ 3 = 241,043,458.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 241,043,458.3333 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 | 723,130,375 | |
| -1 | -723,130,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
723,130,375 ÷ 4 = 180,782,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 180,782,593.75 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 | 723,130,375 | |
| -1 | 723,130,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 125 | 275 | 1,375 | 525,913 | 2,629,565 | 5,785,043 | 13,147,825 | 28,925,215 | 65,739,125 | 144,626,075 | 723,130,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -125 | -275 | -1,375 | -525,913 | -2,629,565 | -5,785,043 | -13,147,825 | -28,925,215 | -65,739,125 | -144,626,075 | -723,130,375 |
