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 56,260,001, 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 | 56,260,001 | |
| -1 | -56,260,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,260,001.
Example:
1 x 56,260,001 = 56,260,001
and
-1 x -56,260,001 = 56,260,001
Notice both answers equal 56,260,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,260,001 and divide it by 2:
56,260,001 ÷ 2 = 28,130,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,130,000.5 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 | 56,260,001 | |
| -1 | -56,260,001 |
Now, we try dividing 56,260,001 by 3:
56,260,001 ÷ 3 = 18,753,333.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,753,333.6667 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 | 56,260,001 | |
| -1 | -56,260,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,260,001 ÷ 4 = 14,065,000.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,065,000.25 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 | 56,260,001 | |
| -1 | 56,260,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 161 | 223 | 1,561 | 1,567 | 5,129 | 10,969 | 35,903 | 36,041 | 252,287 | 349,441 | 2,446,087 | 8,037,143 | 56,260,001 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -161 | -223 | -1,561 | -1,567 | -5,129 | -10,969 | -35,903 | -36,041 | -252,287 | -349,441 | -2,446,087 | -8,037,143 | -56,260,001 |
