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 734,115,127, 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 | 734,115,127 | |
| -1 | -734,115,127 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 734,115,127.
Example:
1 x 734,115,127 = 734,115,127
and
-1 x -734,115,127 = 734,115,127
Notice both answers equal 734,115,127
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 734,115,127 and divide it by 2:
734,115,127 ÷ 2 = 367,057,563.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 367,057,563.5 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 | 734,115,127 | |
| -1 | -734,115,127 |
Now, we try dividing 734,115,127 by 3:
734,115,127 ÷ 3 = 244,705,042.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 244,705,042.3333 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 | 734,115,127 | |
| -1 | -734,115,127 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
734,115,127 ÷ 4 = 183,528,781.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,528,781.75 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 | 734,115,127 | |
| -1 | 734,115,127 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 41 | 467 | 943 | 1,667 | 10,741 | 19,147 | 38,341 | 68,347 | 440,381 | 778,489 | 1,571,981 | 17,905,247 | 31,918,049 | 734,115,127 |
| -1 | -23 | -41 | -467 | -943 | -1,667 | -10,741 | -19,147 | -38,341 | -68,347 | -440,381 | -778,489 | -1,571,981 | -17,905,247 | -31,918,049 | -734,115,127 |
