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 72,460,625, 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 | 72,460,625 | |
| -1 | -72,460,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 72,460,625.
Example:
1 x 72,460,625 = 72,460,625
and
-1 x -72,460,625 = 72,460,625
Notice both answers equal 72,460,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 72,460,625 and divide it by 2:
72,460,625 ÷ 2 = 36,230,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,230,312.5 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 | 72,460,625 | |
| -1 | -72,460,625 |
Now, we try dividing 72,460,625 by 3:
72,460,625 ÷ 3 = 24,153,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,153,541.6667 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 | 72,460,625 | |
| -1 | -72,460,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
72,460,625 ÷ 4 = 18,115,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,115,156.25 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 | 72,460,625 | |
| -1 | 72,460,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 191 | 607 | 625 | 955 | 3,035 | 4,775 | 15,175 | 23,875 | 75,875 | 115,937 | 119,375 | 379,375 | 579,685 | 2,898,425 | 14,492,125 | 72,460,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -191 | -607 | -625 | -955 | -3,035 | -4,775 | -15,175 | -23,875 | -75,875 | -115,937 | -119,375 | -379,375 | -579,685 | -2,898,425 | -14,492,125 | -72,460,625 |
