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 56,264,101, 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 | 56,264,101 | |
| -1 | -56,264,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,264,101.
Example:
1 x 56,264,101 = 56,264,101
and
-1 x -56,264,101 = 56,264,101
Notice both answers equal 56,264,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,264,101 and divide it by 2:
56,264,101 ÷ 2 = 28,132,050.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,132,050.5 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 | 56,264,101 | |
| -1 | -56,264,101 |
Now, we try dividing 56,264,101 by 3:
56,264,101 ÷ 3 = 18,754,700.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,754,700.3333 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 | 56,264,101 | |
| -1 | -56,264,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,264,101 ÷ 4 = 14,066,025.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,066,025.25 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 | 56,264,101 | |
| -1 | 56,264,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 241 | 443 | 527 | 4,097 | 7,471 | 7,531 | 13,733 | 106,763 | 127,007 | 233,461 | 1,814,971 | 3,309,653 | 56,264,101 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -241 | -443 | -527 | -4,097 | -7,471 | -7,531 | -13,733 | -106,763 | -127,007 | -233,461 | -1,814,971 | -3,309,653 | -56,264,101 |
