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 56,265,061, 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 | 56,265,061 | |
| -1 | -56,265,061 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,265,061.
Example:
1 x 56,265,061 = 56,265,061
and
-1 x -56,265,061 = 56,265,061
Notice both answers equal 56,265,061
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,265,061 and divide it by 2:
56,265,061 ÷ 2 = 28,132,530.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,132,530.5 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 | 56,265,061 | |
| -1 | -56,265,061 |
Now, we try dividing 56,265,061 by 3:
56,265,061 ÷ 3 = 18,755,020.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,755,020.3333 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 | 56,265,061 | |
| -1 | -56,265,061 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,265,061 ÷ 4 = 14,066,265.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,066,265.25 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 | 56,265,061 | |
| -1 | 56,265,061 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 199 | 437 | 647 | 3,781 | 4,577 | 12,293 | 14,881 | 86,963 | 128,753 | 282,739 | 2,446,307 | 2,961,319 | 56,265,061 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -199 | -437 | -647 | -3,781 | -4,577 | -12,293 | -14,881 | -86,963 | -128,753 | -282,739 | -2,446,307 | -2,961,319 | -56,265,061 |
