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 73,329,235, 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 | 73,329,235 | |
| -1 | -73,329,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,329,235.
Example:
1 x 73,329,235 = 73,329,235
and
-1 x -73,329,235 = 73,329,235
Notice both answers equal 73,329,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,329,235 and divide it by 2:
73,329,235 ÷ 2 = 36,664,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,664,617.5 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 | 73,329,235 | |
| -1 | -73,329,235 |
Now, we try dividing 73,329,235 by 3:
73,329,235 ÷ 3 = 24,443,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,443,078.3333 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 | 73,329,235 | |
| -1 | -73,329,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,329,235 ÷ 4 = 18,332,308.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,332,308.75 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 | 73,329,235 | |
| -1 | 73,329,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 229 | 245 | 1,145 | 1,307 | 1,603 | 6,535 | 8,015 | 9,149 | 11,221 | 45,745 | 56,105 | 64,043 | 299,303 | 320,215 | 1,496,515 | 2,095,121 | 10,475,605 | 14,665,847 | 73,329,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -229 | -245 | -1,145 | -1,307 | -1,603 | -6,535 | -8,015 | -9,149 | -11,221 | -45,745 | -56,105 | -64,043 | -299,303 | -320,215 | -1,496,515 | -2,095,121 | -10,475,605 | -14,665,847 | -73,329,235 |
