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 56,137,229, 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 | 56,137,229 | |
| -1 | -56,137,229 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,137,229.
Example:
1 x 56,137,229 = 56,137,229
and
-1 x -56,137,229 = 56,137,229
Notice both answers equal 56,137,229
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,137,229 and divide it by 2:
56,137,229 ÷ 2 = 28,068,614.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,068,614.5 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 | 56,137,229 | |
| -1 | -56,137,229 |
Now, we try dividing 56,137,229 by 3:
56,137,229 ÷ 3 = 18,712,409.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,712,409.6667 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 | 56,137,229 | |
| -1 | -56,137,229 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,137,229 ÷ 4 = 14,034,307.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,034,307.25 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 | 56,137,229 | |
| -1 | 56,137,229 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 53 | 107 | 521 | 1,007 | 2,033 | 5,671 | 9,899 | 27,613 | 55,747 | 107,749 | 524,647 | 1,059,193 | 2,954,591 | 56,137,229 |
| -1 | -19 | -53 | -107 | -521 | -1,007 | -2,033 | -5,671 | -9,899 | -27,613 | -55,747 | -107,749 | -524,647 | -1,059,193 | -2,954,591 | -56,137,229 |
