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 732,704,807, 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 | 732,704,807 | |
| -1 | -732,704,807 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 732,704,807.
Example:
1 x 732,704,807 = 732,704,807
and
-1 x -732,704,807 = 732,704,807
Notice both answers equal 732,704,807
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 732,704,807 and divide it by 2:
732,704,807 ÷ 2 = 366,352,403.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 366,352,403.5 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 | 732,704,807 | |
| -1 | -732,704,807 |
Now, we try dividing 732,704,807 by 3:
732,704,807 ÷ 3 = 244,234,935.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 244,234,935.6667 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 | 732,704,807 | |
| -1 | -732,704,807 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
732,704,807 ÷ 4 = 183,176,201.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,176,201.75 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 | 732,704,807 | |
| -1 | 732,704,807 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 53 | 293 | 1,537 | 1,627 | 8,497 | 15,529 | 47,183 | 86,231 | 450,341 | 476,711 | 2,500,699 | 13,824,619 | 25,265,683 | 732,704,807 |
| -1 | -29 | -53 | -293 | -1,537 | -1,627 | -8,497 | -15,529 | -47,183 | -86,231 | -450,341 | -476,711 | -2,500,699 | -13,824,619 | -25,265,683 | -732,704,807 |
