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 85,362,763, 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 | 85,362,763 | |
| -1 | -85,362,763 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 85,362,763.
Example:
1 x 85,362,763 = 85,362,763
and
-1 x -85,362,763 = 85,362,763
Notice both answers equal 85,362,763
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 85,362,763 and divide it by 2:
85,362,763 ÷ 2 = 42,681,381.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 42,681,381.5 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 | 85,362,763 | |
| -1 | -85,362,763 |
Now, we try dividing 85,362,763 by 3:
85,362,763 ÷ 3 = 28,454,254.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 28,454,254.3333 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 | 85,362,763 | |
| -1 | -85,362,763 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
85,362,763 ÷ 4 = 21,340,690.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 21,340,690.75 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 | 85,362,763 | |
| -1 | 85,362,763 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 47 | 323 | 799 | 893 | 5,623 | 15,181 | 95,591 | 106,837 | 264,281 | 1,816,229 | 4,492,777 | 5,021,339 | 85,362,763 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -47 | -323 | -799 | -893 | -5,623 | -15,181 | -95,591 | -106,837 | -264,281 | -1,816,229 | -4,492,777 | -5,021,339 | -85,362,763 |
