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 76,231,603, 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 | 76,231,603 | |
| -1 | -76,231,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 76,231,603.
Example:
1 x 76,231,603 = 76,231,603
and
-1 x -76,231,603 = 76,231,603
Notice both answers equal 76,231,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 76,231,603 and divide it by 2:
76,231,603 ÷ 2 = 38,115,801.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 38,115,801.5 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 | 76,231,603 | |
| -1 | -76,231,603 |
Now, we try dividing 76,231,603 by 3:
76,231,603 ÷ 3 = 25,410,534.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 25,410,534.3333 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 | 76,231,603 | |
| -1 | -76,231,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
76,231,603 ÷ 4 = 19,057,900.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 19,057,900.75 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 | 76,231,603 | |
| -1 | 76,231,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 49 | 79 | 329 | 419 | 553 | 2,303 | 2,933 | 3,713 | 3,871 | 19,693 | 20,531 | 25,991 | 33,101 | 137,851 | 181,937 | 231,707 | 964,957 | 1,555,747 | 1,621,949 | 10,890,229 | 76,231,603 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -49 | -79 | -329 | -419 | -553 | -2,303 | -2,933 | -3,713 | -3,871 | -19,693 | -20,531 | -25,991 | -33,101 | -137,851 | -181,937 | -231,707 | -964,957 | -1,555,747 | -1,621,949 | -10,890,229 | -76,231,603 |
