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 56,150,633, 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 | 56,150,633 | |
| -1 | -56,150,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,150,633.
Example:
1 x 56,150,633 = 56,150,633
and
-1 x -56,150,633 = 56,150,633
Notice both answers equal 56,150,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,150,633 and divide it by 2:
56,150,633 ÷ 2 = 28,075,316.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,075,316.5 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 | 56,150,633 | |
| -1 | -56,150,633 |
Now, we try dividing 56,150,633 by 3:
56,150,633 ÷ 3 = 18,716,877.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,716,877.6667 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 | 56,150,633 | |
| -1 | -56,150,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,150,633 ÷ 4 = 14,037,658.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,037,658.25 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 | 56,150,633 | |
| -1 | 56,150,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 367 | 1,987 | 2,569 | 4,037 | 13,909 | 21,857 | 28,259 | 152,999 | 729,229 | 5,104,603 | 8,021,519 | 56,150,633 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -367 | -1,987 | -2,569 | -4,037 | -13,909 | -21,857 | -28,259 | -152,999 | -729,229 | -5,104,603 | -8,021,519 | -56,150,633 |
