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 74,751,035, 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 | 74,751,035 | |
| -1 | -74,751,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 74,751,035.
Example:
1 x 74,751,035 = 74,751,035
and
-1 x -74,751,035 = 74,751,035
Notice both answers equal 74,751,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 74,751,035 and divide it by 2:
74,751,035 ÷ 2 = 37,375,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 37,375,517.5 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 | 74,751,035 | |
| -1 | -74,751,035 |
Now, we try dividing 74,751,035 by 3:
74,751,035 ÷ 3 = 24,917,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 24,917,011.6667 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 | 74,751,035 | |
| -1 | -74,751,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
74,751,035 ÷ 4 = 18,687,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,687,758.75 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 | 74,751,035 | |
| -1 | 74,751,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 23 | 95 | 115 | 437 | 2,185 | 34,211 | 171,055 | 650,009 | 786,853 | 3,250,045 | 3,934,265 | 14,950,207 | 74,751,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -23 | -95 | -115 | -437 | -2,185 | -34,211 | -171,055 | -650,009 | -786,853 | -3,250,045 | -3,934,265 | -14,950,207 | -74,751,035 |
