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 56,461,475, 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 | 56,461,475 | |
| -1 | -56,461,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,461,475.
Example:
1 x 56,461,475 = 56,461,475
and
-1 x -56,461,475 = 56,461,475
Notice both answers equal 56,461,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,461,475 and divide it by 2:
56,461,475 ÷ 2 = 28,230,737.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,230,737.5 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 | 56,461,475 | |
| -1 | -56,461,475 |
Now, we try dividing 56,461,475 by 3:
56,461,475 ÷ 3 = 18,820,491.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,820,491.6667 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 | 56,461,475 | |
| -1 | -56,461,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,461,475 ÷ 4 = 14,115,368.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,115,368.75 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 | 56,461,475 | |
| -1 | 56,461,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 1,225 | 46,091 | 230,455 | 322,637 | 1,152,275 | 1,613,185 | 2,258,459 | 8,065,925 | 11,292,295 | 56,461,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -1,225 | -46,091 | -230,455 | -322,637 | -1,152,275 | -1,613,185 | -2,258,459 | -8,065,925 | -11,292,295 | -56,461,475 |
