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 761,034,511, 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 | 761,034,511 | |
| -1 | -761,034,511 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 761,034,511.
Example:
1 x 761,034,511 = 761,034,511
and
-1 x -761,034,511 = 761,034,511
Notice both answers equal 761,034,511
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 761,034,511 and divide it by 2:
761,034,511 ÷ 2 = 380,517,255.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 380,517,255.5 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 | 761,034,511 | |
| -1 | -761,034,511 |
Now, we try dividing 761,034,511 by 3:
761,034,511 ÷ 3 = 253,678,170.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 253,678,170.3333 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 | 761,034,511 | |
| -1 | -761,034,511 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
761,034,511 ÷ 4 = 190,258,627.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,258,627.75 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 | 761,034,511 | |
| -1 | 761,034,511 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 43 | 373 | 989 | 2,063 | 8,579 | 16,039 | 47,449 | 88,709 | 368,897 | 769,499 | 2,040,307 | 17,698,477 | 33,088,457 | 761,034,511 |
| -1 | -23 | -43 | -373 | -989 | -2,063 | -8,579 | -16,039 | -47,449 | -88,709 | -368,897 | -769,499 | -2,040,307 | -17,698,477 | -33,088,457 | -761,034,511 |
