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 56,010,535, 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 | 56,010,535 | |
| -1 | -56,010,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,010,535.
Example:
1 x 56,010,535 = 56,010,535
and
-1 x -56,010,535 = 56,010,535
Notice both answers equal 56,010,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,010,535 and divide it by 2:
56,010,535 ÷ 2 = 28,005,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,005,267.5 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 | 56,010,535 | |
| -1 | -56,010,535 |
Now, we try dividing 56,010,535 by 3:
56,010,535 ÷ 3 = 18,670,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,670,178.3333 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 | 56,010,535 | |
| -1 | -56,010,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,010,535 ÷ 4 = 14,002,633.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,002,633.75 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 | 56,010,535 | |
| -1 | 56,010,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 157 | 785 | 1,099 | 5,495 | 10,193 | 50,965 | 71,351 | 356,755 | 1,600,301 | 8,001,505 | 11,202,107 | 56,010,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -157 | -785 | -1,099 | -5,495 | -10,193 | -50,965 | -71,351 | -356,755 | -1,600,301 | -8,001,505 | -11,202,107 | -56,010,535 |
