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 56,022,463, 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 | 56,022,463 | |
| -1 | -56,022,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,022,463.
Example:
1 x 56,022,463 = 56,022,463
and
-1 x -56,022,463 = 56,022,463
Notice both answers equal 56,022,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,022,463 and divide it by 2:
56,022,463 ÷ 2 = 28,011,231.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,011,231.5 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 | 56,022,463 | |
| -1 | -56,022,463 |
Now, we try dividing 56,022,463 by 3:
56,022,463 ÷ 3 = 18,674,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,674,154.3333 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 | 56,022,463 | |
| -1 | -56,022,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,022,463 ÷ 4 = 14,005,615.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,005,615.75 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 | 56,022,463 | |
| -1 | 56,022,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 73 | 119 | 511 | 1,241 | 6,449 | 8,687 | 45,143 | 109,633 | 470,777 | 767,431 | 3,295,439 | 8,003,209 | 56,022,463 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -73 | -119 | -511 | -1,241 | -6,449 | -8,687 | -45,143 | -109,633 | -470,777 | -767,431 | -3,295,439 | -8,003,209 | -56,022,463 |
