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 735,544,771, 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 | 735,544,771 | |
| -1 | -735,544,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 735,544,771.
Example:
1 x 735,544,771 = 735,544,771
and
-1 x -735,544,771 = 735,544,771
Notice both answers equal 735,544,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 735,544,771 and divide it by 2:
735,544,771 ÷ 2 = 367,772,385.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 367,772,385.5 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 | 735,544,771 | |
| -1 | -735,544,771 |
Now, we try dividing 735,544,771 by 3:
735,544,771 ÷ 3 = 245,181,590.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 245,181,590.3333 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 | 735,544,771 | |
| -1 | -735,544,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
735,544,771 ÷ 4 = 183,886,192.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 183,886,192.75 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 | 735,544,771 | |
| -1 | 735,544,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 61 | 139 | 793 | 1,807 | 6,673 | 8,479 | 86,749 | 110,227 | 407,053 | 927,547 | 5,291,689 | 12,058,111 | 56,580,367 | 735,544,771 |
| -1 | -13 | -61 | -139 | -793 | -1,807 | -6,673 | -8,479 | -86,749 | -110,227 | -407,053 | -927,547 | -5,291,689 | -12,058,111 | -56,580,367 | -735,544,771 |
