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 761,103,535, 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 | 761,103,535 | |
| -1 | -761,103,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 761,103,535.
Example:
1 x 761,103,535 = 761,103,535
and
-1 x -761,103,535 = 761,103,535
Notice both answers equal 761,103,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 761,103,535 and divide it by 2:
761,103,535 ÷ 2 = 380,551,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 380,551,767.5 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 | 761,103,535 | |
| -1 | -761,103,535 |
Now, we try dividing 761,103,535 by 3:
761,103,535 ÷ 3 = 253,701,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 253,701,178.3333 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 | 761,103,535 | |
| -1 | -761,103,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
761,103,535 ÷ 4 = 190,275,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,275,883.75 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 | 761,103,535 | |
| -1 | 761,103,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 139 | 251 | 695 | 1,255 | 4,363 | 21,815 | 34,889 | 174,445 | 606,457 | 1,095,113 | 3,032,285 | 5,475,565 | 152,220,707 | 761,103,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -139 | -251 | -695 | -1,255 | -4,363 | -21,815 | -34,889 | -174,445 | -606,457 | -1,095,113 | -3,032,285 | -5,475,565 | -152,220,707 | -761,103,535 |
