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 73,700,809, 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 | 73,700,809 | |
| -1 | -73,700,809 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 73,700,809.
Example:
1 x 73,700,809 = 73,700,809
and
-1 x -73,700,809 = 73,700,809
Notice both answers equal 73,700,809
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 73,700,809 and divide it by 2:
73,700,809 ÷ 2 = 36,850,404.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 36,850,404.5 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 | 73,700,809 | |
| -1 | -73,700,809 |
Now, we try dividing 73,700,809 by 3:
73,700,809 ÷ 3 = 24,566,936.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,566,936.3333 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 | 73,700,809 | |
| -1 | -73,700,809 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
73,700,809 ÷ 4 = 18,425,202.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,425,202.25 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 | 73,700,809 | |
| -1 | 73,700,809 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 529 | 1,531 | 2,093 | 3,703 | 6,877 | 10,717 | 19,903 | 35,213 | 48,139 | 139,321 | 246,491 | 457,769 | 809,899 | 3,204,383 | 5,669,293 | 10,528,687 | 73,700,809 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -529 | -1,531 | -2,093 | -3,703 | -6,877 | -10,717 | -19,903 | -35,213 | -48,139 | -139,321 | -246,491 | -457,769 | -809,899 | -3,204,383 | -5,669,293 | -10,528,687 | -73,700,809 |
