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 77,325,563, 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 | 77,325,563 | |
| -1 | -77,325,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 77,325,563.
Example:
1 x 77,325,563 = 77,325,563
and
-1 x -77,325,563 = 77,325,563
Notice both answers equal 77,325,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 77,325,563 and divide it by 2:
77,325,563 ÷ 2 = 38,662,781.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 38,662,781.5 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 | 77,325,563 | |
| -1 | -77,325,563 |
Now, we try dividing 77,325,563 by 3:
77,325,563 ÷ 3 = 25,775,187.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 25,775,187.6667 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 | 77,325,563 | |
| -1 | -77,325,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
77,325,563 ÷ 4 = 19,331,390.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 19,331,390.75 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 | 77,325,563 | |
| -1 | 77,325,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 713 | 4,991 | 15,493 | 108,451 | 356,339 | 480,283 | 2,494,373 | 3,361,981 | 11,046,509 | 77,325,563 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -713 | -4,991 | -15,493 | -108,451 | -356,339 | -480,283 | -2,494,373 | -3,361,981 | -11,046,509 | -77,325,563 |
