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 73,434,529, 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 | 73,434,529 | |
| -1 | -73,434,529 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,434,529.
Example:
1 x 73,434,529 = 73,434,529
and
-1 x -73,434,529 = 73,434,529
Notice both answers equal 73,434,529
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,434,529 and divide it by 2:
73,434,529 ÷ 2 = 36,717,264.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,717,264.5 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 | 73,434,529 | |
| -1 | -73,434,529 |
Now, we try dividing 73,434,529 by 3:
73,434,529 ÷ 3 = 24,478,176.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,478,176.3333 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 | 73,434,529 | |
| -1 | -73,434,529 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,434,529 ÷ 4 = 18,358,632.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,358,632.25 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 | 73,434,529 | |
| -1 | 73,434,529 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 79 | 97 | 259 | 553 | 679 | 1,369 | 2,923 | 3,589 | 7,663 | 9,583 | 20,461 | 25,123 | 53,641 | 108,151 | 132,793 | 283,531 | 757,057 | 929,551 | 1,984,717 | 10,490,647 | 73,434,529 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -79 | -97 | -259 | -553 | -679 | -1,369 | -2,923 | -3,589 | -7,663 | -9,583 | -20,461 | -25,123 | -53,641 | -108,151 | -132,793 | -283,531 | -757,057 | -929,551 | -1,984,717 | -10,490,647 | -73,434,529 |
