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 73,450,295, 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 | 73,450,295 | |
| -1 | -73,450,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,450,295.
Example:
1 x 73,450,295 = 73,450,295
and
-1 x -73,450,295 = 73,450,295
Notice both answers equal 73,450,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,450,295 and divide it by 2:
73,450,295 ÷ 2 = 36,725,147.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,725,147.5 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 | 73,450,295 | |
| -1 | -73,450,295 |
Now, we try dividing 73,450,295 by 3:
73,450,295 ÷ 3 = 24,483,431.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,483,431.6667 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 | 73,450,295 | |
| -1 | -73,450,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,450,295 ÷ 4 = 18,362,573.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,362,573.75 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 | 73,450,295 | |
| -1 | 73,450,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 149 | 745 | 2,831 | 5,189 | 14,155 | 25,945 | 98,591 | 492,955 | 773,161 | 3,865,805 | 14,690,059 | 73,450,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -149 | -745 | -2,831 | -5,189 | -14,155 | -25,945 | -98,591 | -492,955 | -773,161 | -3,865,805 | -14,690,059 | -73,450,295 |
