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 746,660,119, 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 | 746,660,119 | |
| -1 | -746,660,119 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 746,660,119.
Example:
1 x 746,660,119 = 746,660,119
and
-1 x -746,660,119 = 746,660,119
Notice both answers equal 746,660,119
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 746,660,119 and divide it by 2:
746,660,119 ÷ 2 = 373,330,059.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 373,330,059.5 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 | 746,660,119 | |
| -1 | -746,660,119 |
Now, we try dividing 746,660,119 by 3:
746,660,119 ÷ 3 = 248,886,706.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 248,886,706.3333 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 | 746,660,119 | |
| -1 | -746,660,119 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
746,660,119 ÷ 4 = 186,665,029.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 186,665,029.75 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 | 746,660,119 | |
| -1 | 746,660,119 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 97 | 151 | 1,843 | 2,683 | 2,869 | 14,647 | 50,977 | 260,251 | 278,293 | 405,133 | 4,944,769 | 7,697,527 | 39,297,901 | 746,660,119 |
| -1 | -19 | -97 | -151 | -1,843 | -2,683 | -2,869 | -14,647 | -50,977 | -260,251 | -278,293 | -405,133 | -4,944,769 | -7,697,527 | -39,297,901 | -746,660,119 |
