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 737,330,405, 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 | 737,330,405 | |
| -1 | -737,330,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 737,330,405.
Example:
1 x 737,330,405 = 737,330,405
and
-1 x -737,330,405 = 737,330,405
Notice both answers equal 737,330,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 737,330,405 and divide it by 2:
737,330,405 ÷ 2 = 368,665,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 368,665,202.5 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 | 737,330,405 | |
| -1 | -737,330,405 |
Now, we try dividing 737,330,405 by 3:
737,330,405 ÷ 3 = 245,776,801.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 245,776,801.6667 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 | 737,330,405 | |
| -1 | -737,330,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
737,330,405 ÷ 4 = 184,332,601.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 184,332,601.25 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 | 737,330,405 | |
| -1 | 737,330,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 4,451 | 4,733 | 22,255 | 23,665 | 31,157 | 33,131 | 155,785 | 165,655 | 21,066,583 | 105,332,915 | 147,466,081 | 737,330,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -4,451 | -4,733 | -22,255 | -23,665 | -31,157 | -33,131 | -155,785 | -165,655 | -21,066,583 | -105,332,915 | -147,466,081 | -737,330,405 |
