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 735,324,107, 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 | 735,324,107 | |
| -1 | -735,324,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 735,324,107.
Example:
1 x 735,324,107 = 735,324,107
and
-1 x -735,324,107 = 735,324,107
Notice both answers equal 735,324,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 735,324,107 and divide it by 2:
735,324,107 ÷ 2 = 367,662,053.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 367,662,053.5 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 | 735,324,107 | |
| -1 | -735,324,107 |
Now, we try dividing 735,324,107 by 3:
735,324,107 ÷ 3 = 245,108,035.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 245,108,035.6667 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 | 735,324,107 | |
| -1 | -735,324,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
735,324,107 ÷ 4 = 183,831,026.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,831,026.75 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 | 735,324,107 | |
| -1 | 735,324,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 103 | 557 | 721 | 1,831 | 3,899 | 12,817 | 57,371 | 188,593 | 401,597 | 1,019,867 | 1,320,151 | 7,139,069 | 105,046,301 | 735,324,107 |
| -1 | -7 | -103 | -557 | -721 | -1,831 | -3,899 | -12,817 | -57,371 | -188,593 | -401,597 | -1,019,867 | -1,320,151 | -7,139,069 | -105,046,301 | -735,324,107 |
