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 735,076,135, 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 | 735,076,135 | |
| -1 | -735,076,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 735,076,135.
Example:
1 x 735,076,135 = 735,076,135
and
-1 x -735,076,135 = 735,076,135
Notice both answers equal 735,076,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 735,076,135 and divide it by 2:
735,076,135 ÷ 2 = 367,538,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 367,538,067.5 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 | 735,076,135 | |
| -1 | -735,076,135 |
Now, we try dividing 735,076,135 by 3:
735,076,135 ÷ 3 = 245,025,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 245,025,378.3333 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 | 735,076,135 | |
| -1 | -735,076,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
735,076,135 ÷ 4 = 183,769,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,769,033.75 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 | 735,076,135 | |
| -1 | 735,076,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 173 | 355 | 865 | 11,969 | 12,283 | 59,845 | 61,415 | 849,799 | 2,070,637 | 4,248,995 | 10,353,185 | 147,015,227 | 735,076,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -173 | -355 | -865 | -11,969 | -12,283 | -59,845 | -61,415 | -849,799 | -2,070,637 | -4,248,995 | -10,353,185 | -147,015,227 | -735,076,135 |
