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 87,740,275, 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 | 87,740,275 | |
| -1 | -87,740,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 87,740,275.
Example:
1 x 87,740,275 = 87,740,275
and
-1 x -87,740,275 = 87,740,275
Notice both answers equal 87,740,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 87,740,275 and divide it by 2:
87,740,275 ÷ 2 = 43,870,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 43,870,137.5 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 | 87,740,275 | |
| -1 | -87,740,275 |
Now, we try dividing 87,740,275 by 3:
87,740,275 ÷ 3 = 29,246,758.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 29,246,758.3333 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 | 87,740,275 | |
| -1 | -87,740,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
87,740,275 ÷ 4 = 21,935,068.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 21,935,068.75 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 | 87,740,275 | |
| -1 | 87,740,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 139 | 175 | 695 | 973 | 3,475 | 3,607 | 4,865 | 18,035 | 24,325 | 25,249 | 90,175 | 126,245 | 501,373 | 631,225 | 2,506,865 | 3,509,611 | 12,534,325 | 17,548,055 | 87,740,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -139 | -175 | -695 | -973 | -3,475 | -3,607 | -4,865 | -18,035 | -24,325 | -25,249 | -90,175 | -126,245 | -501,373 | -631,225 | -2,506,865 | -3,509,611 | -12,534,325 | -17,548,055 | -87,740,275 |
