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 73,466,483, 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 | 73,466,483 | |
| -1 | -73,466,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,466,483.
Example:
1 x 73,466,483 = 73,466,483
and
-1 x -73,466,483 = 73,466,483
Notice both answers equal 73,466,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,466,483 and divide it by 2:
73,466,483 ÷ 2 = 36,733,241.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,733,241.5 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 | 73,466,483 | |
| -1 | -73,466,483 |
Now, we try dividing 73,466,483 by 3:
73,466,483 ÷ 3 = 24,488,827.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,488,827.6667 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 | 73,466,483 | |
| -1 | -73,466,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,466,483 ÷ 4 = 18,366,620.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,366,620.75 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 | 73,466,483 | |
| -1 | 73,466,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 151 | 551 | 883 | 2,869 | 4,379 | 16,777 | 25,607 | 83,201 | 133,333 | 486,533 | 2,533,327 | 3,866,657 | 73,466,483 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -151 | -551 | -883 | -2,869 | -4,379 | -16,777 | -25,607 | -83,201 | -133,333 | -486,533 | -2,533,327 | -3,866,657 | -73,466,483 |
