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 762,037,705, 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 | 762,037,705 | |
| -1 | -762,037,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 762,037,705.
Example:
1 x 762,037,705 = 762,037,705
and
-1 x -762,037,705 = 762,037,705
Notice both answers equal 762,037,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 762,037,705 and divide it by 2:
762,037,705 ÷ 2 = 381,018,852.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 381,018,852.5 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 | 762,037,705 | |
| -1 | -762,037,705 |
Now, we try dividing 762,037,705 by 3:
762,037,705 ÷ 3 = 254,012,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 254,012,568.3333 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 | 762,037,705 | |
| -1 | -762,037,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
762,037,705 ÷ 4 = 190,509,426.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 190,509,426.25 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 | 762,037,705 | |
| -1 | 762,037,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 1,065,787 | 5,328,935 | 11,723,657 | 13,855,231 | 58,618,285 | 69,276,155 | 152,407,541 | 762,037,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -1,065,787 | -5,328,935 | -11,723,657 | -13,855,231 | -58,618,285 | -69,276,155 | -152,407,541 | -762,037,705 |
