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 79,411,805, 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 | 79,411,805 | |
| -1 | -79,411,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 79,411,805.
Example:
1 x 79,411,805 = 79,411,805
and
-1 x -79,411,805 = 79,411,805
Notice both answers equal 79,411,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 79,411,805 and divide it by 2:
79,411,805 ÷ 2 = 39,705,902.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 39,705,902.5 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 | 79,411,805 | |
| -1 | -79,411,805 |
Now, we try dividing 79,411,805 by 3:
79,411,805 ÷ 3 = 26,470,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 26,470,601.6667 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 | 79,411,805 | |
| -1 | -79,411,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
79,411,805 ÷ 4 = 19,852,951.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 19,852,951.25 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 | 79,411,805 | |
| -1 | 79,411,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 37 | 55 | 185 | 407 | 2,035 | 39,023 | 195,115 | 429,253 | 1,443,851 | 2,146,265 | 7,219,255 | 15,882,361 | 79,411,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -37 | -55 | -185 | -407 | -2,035 | -39,023 | -195,115 | -429,253 | -1,443,851 | -2,146,265 | -7,219,255 | -15,882,361 | -79,411,805 |
