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 762,632,267, 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 | 762,632,267 | |
| -1 | -762,632,267 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 762,632,267.
Example:
1 x 762,632,267 = 762,632,267
and
-1 x -762,632,267 = 762,632,267
Notice both answers equal 762,632,267
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 762,632,267 and divide it by 2:
762,632,267 ÷ 2 = 381,316,133.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 381,316,133.5 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 | 762,632,267 | |
| -1 | -762,632,267 |
Now, we try dividing 762,632,267 by 3:
762,632,267 ÷ 3 = 254,210,755.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 254,210,755.6667 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 | 762,632,267 | |
| -1 | -762,632,267 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
762,632,267 ÷ 4 = 190,658,066.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,658,066.75 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 | 762,632,267 | |
| -1 | 762,632,267 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 79 | 173 | 1,361 | 3,239 | 7,093 | 13,667 | 55,801 | 107,519 | 235,453 | 560,347 | 4,408,279 | 9,653,573 | 18,600,787 | 762,632,267 |
| -1 | -41 | -79 | -173 | -1,361 | -3,239 | -7,093 | -13,667 | -55,801 | -107,519 | -235,453 | -560,347 | -4,408,279 | -9,653,573 | -18,600,787 | -762,632,267 |
