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 56,145,323, 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 | 56,145,323 | |
| -1 | -56,145,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,145,323.
Example:
1 x 56,145,323 = 56,145,323
and
-1 x -56,145,323 = 56,145,323
Notice both answers equal 56,145,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,145,323 and divide it by 2:
56,145,323 ÷ 2 = 28,072,661.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,072,661.5 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 | 56,145,323 | |
| -1 | -56,145,323 |
Now, we try dividing 56,145,323 by 3:
56,145,323 ÷ 3 = 18,715,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,715,107.6667 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 | 56,145,323 | |
| -1 | -56,145,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,145,323 ÷ 4 = 14,036,330.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,036,330.75 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 | 56,145,323 | |
| -1 | 56,145,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 23 | 247 | 299 | 437 | 5,681 | 9,883 | 128,479 | 187,777 | 227,309 | 2,441,101 | 2,955,017 | 4,318,871 | 56,145,323 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -23 | -247 | -299 | -437 | -5,681 | -9,883 | -128,479 | -187,777 | -227,309 | -2,441,101 | -2,955,017 | -4,318,871 | -56,145,323 |
