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 75,035,735, 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 | 75,035,735 | |
| -1 | -75,035,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 75,035,735.
Example:
1 x 75,035,735 = 75,035,735
and
-1 x -75,035,735 = 75,035,735
Notice both answers equal 75,035,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 75,035,735 and divide it by 2:
75,035,735 ÷ 2 = 37,517,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 37,517,867.5 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 | 75,035,735 | |
| -1 | -75,035,735 |
Now, we try dividing 75,035,735 by 3:
75,035,735 ÷ 3 = 25,011,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 25,011,911.6667 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 | 75,035,735 | |
| -1 | -75,035,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
75,035,735 ÷ 4 = 18,758,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 18,758,933.75 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 | 75,035,735 | |
| -1 | 75,035,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 83 | 235 | 415 | 3,847 | 3,901 | 19,235 | 19,505 | 180,809 | 319,301 | 904,045 | 1,596,505 | 15,007,147 | 75,035,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -83 | -235 | -415 | -3,847 | -3,901 | -19,235 | -19,505 | -180,809 | -319,301 | -904,045 | -1,596,505 | -15,007,147 | -75,035,735 |
