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 764,501,011, 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 | 764,501,011 | |
| -1 | -764,501,011 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 764,501,011.
Example:
1 x 764,501,011 = 764,501,011
and
-1 x -764,501,011 = 764,501,011
Notice both answers equal 764,501,011
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 764,501,011 and divide it by 2:
764,501,011 ÷ 2 = 382,250,505.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 382,250,505.5 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 | 764,501,011 | |
| -1 | -764,501,011 |
Now, we try dividing 764,501,011 by 3:
764,501,011 ÷ 3 = 254,833,670.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 254,833,670.3333 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 | 764,501,011 | |
| -1 | -764,501,011 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
764,501,011 ÷ 4 = 191,125,252.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 191,125,252.75 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 | 764,501,011 | |
| -1 | 764,501,011 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 89 | 127 | 239 | 283 | 11,303 | 21,271 | 25,187 | 30,353 | 35,941 | 67,637 | 2,701,417 | 3,198,749 | 6,019,693 | 8,589,899 | 764,501,011 |
| -1 | -89 | -127 | -239 | -283 | -11,303 | -21,271 | -25,187 | -30,353 | -35,941 | -67,637 | -2,701,417 | -3,198,749 | -6,019,693 | -8,589,899 | -764,501,011 |
