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 765,522,457, 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 | 765,522,457 | |
| -1 | -765,522,457 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 765,522,457.
Example:
1 x 765,522,457 = 765,522,457
and
-1 x -765,522,457 = 765,522,457
Notice both answers equal 765,522,457
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 765,522,457 and divide it by 2:
765,522,457 ÷ 2 = 382,761,228.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 382,761,228.5 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 | 765,522,457 | |
| -1 | -765,522,457 |
Now, we try dividing 765,522,457 by 3:
765,522,457 ÷ 3 = 255,174,152.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 255,174,152.3333 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 | 765,522,457 | |
| -1 | -765,522,457 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
765,522,457 ÷ 4 = 191,380,614.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 191,380,614.25 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 | 765,522,457 | |
| -1 | 765,522,457 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 311 | 511 | 2,177 | 4,817 | 22,703 | 33,719 | 158,921 | 351,641 | 1,498,087 | 2,461,487 | 10,486,609 | 109,360,351 | 765,522,457 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -311 | -511 | -2,177 | -4,817 | -22,703 | -33,719 | -158,921 | -351,641 | -1,498,087 | -2,461,487 | -10,486,609 | -109,360,351 | -765,522,457 |
