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 56,032,717, 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 | 56,032,717 | |
| -1 | -56,032,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,032,717.
Example:
1 x 56,032,717 = 56,032,717
and
-1 x -56,032,717 = 56,032,717
Notice both answers equal 56,032,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,032,717 and divide it by 2:
56,032,717 ÷ 2 = 28,016,358.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,016,358.5 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 | 56,032,717 | |
| -1 | -56,032,717 |
Now, we try dividing 56,032,717 by 3:
56,032,717 ÷ 3 = 18,677,572.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,677,572.3333 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 | 56,032,717 | |
| -1 | -56,032,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,032,717 ÷ 4 = 14,008,179.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,008,179.25 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 | 56,032,717 | |
| -1 | 56,032,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 163 | 403 | 853 | 2,119 | 5,053 | 11,089 | 26,443 | 65,689 | 139,039 | 343,759 | 1,807,507 | 4,310,209 | 56,032,717 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -163 | -403 | -853 | -2,119 | -5,053 | -11,089 | -26,443 | -65,689 | -139,039 | -343,759 | -1,807,507 | -4,310,209 | -56,032,717 |
