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 73,526,803, 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 | 73,526,803 | |
| -1 | -73,526,803 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,526,803.
Example:
1 x 73,526,803 = 73,526,803
and
-1 x -73,526,803 = 73,526,803
Notice both answers equal 73,526,803
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,526,803 and divide it by 2:
73,526,803 ÷ 2 = 36,763,401.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,763,401.5 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 | 73,526,803 | |
| -1 | -73,526,803 |
Now, we try dividing 73,526,803 by 3:
73,526,803 ÷ 3 = 24,508,934.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,508,934.3333 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 | 73,526,803 | |
| -1 | -73,526,803 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,526,803 ÷ 4 = 18,381,700.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,381,700.75 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 | 73,526,803 | |
| -1 | 73,526,803 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 49 | 59 | 203 | 413 | 877 | 1,421 | 1,711 | 2,891 | 6,139 | 11,977 | 25,433 | 42,973 | 51,743 | 83,839 | 178,031 | 362,201 | 1,246,217 | 1,500,547 | 2,535,407 | 10,503,829 | 73,526,803 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -49 | -59 | -203 | -413 | -877 | -1,421 | -1,711 | -2,891 | -6,139 | -11,977 | -25,433 | -42,973 | -51,743 | -83,839 | -178,031 | -362,201 | -1,246,217 | -1,500,547 | -2,535,407 | -10,503,829 | -73,526,803 |
