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 760,251,541, 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 | 760,251,541 | |
| -1 | -760,251,541 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 760,251,541.
Example:
1 x 760,251,541 = 760,251,541
and
-1 x -760,251,541 = 760,251,541
Notice both answers equal 760,251,541
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 760,251,541 and divide it by 2:
760,251,541 ÷ 2 = 380,125,770.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 380,125,770.5 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 | 760,251,541 | |
| -1 | -760,251,541 |
Now, we try dividing 760,251,541 by 3:
760,251,541 ÷ 3 = 253,417,180.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 253,417,180.3333 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 | 760,251,541 | |
| -1 | -760,251,541 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
760,251,541 ÷ 4 = 190,062,885.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,062,885.25 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 | 760,251,541 | |
| -1 | 760,251,541 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 1,237 | 4,621 | 8,659 | 23,503 | 32,347 | 87,799 | 164,521 | 614,593 | 5,716,177 | 40,013,239 | 108,607,363 | 760,251,541 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -1,237 | -4,621 | -8,659 | -23,503 | -32,347 | -87,799 | -164,521 | -614,593 | -5,716,177 | -40,013,239 | -108,607,363 | -760,251,541 |
