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 56,516,735, 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 | 56,516,735 | |
| -1 | -56,516,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,516,735.
Example:
1 x 56,516,735 = 56,516,735
and
-1 x -56,516,735 = 56,516,735
Notice both answers equal 56,516,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,516,735 and divide it by 2:
56,516,735 ÷ 2 = 28,258,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,258,367.5 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 | 56,516,735 | |
| -1 | -56,516,735 |
Now, we try dividing 56,516,735 by 3:
56,516,735 ÷ 3 = 18,838,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,838,911.6667 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 | 56,516,735 | |
| -1 | -56,516,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,516,735 ÷ 4 = 14,129,183.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,129,183.75 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 | 56,516,735 | |
| -1 | 56,516,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 19 | 55 | 95 | 209 | 1,045 | 54,083 | 270,415 | 594,913 | 1,027,577 | 2,974,565 | 5,137,885 | 11,303,347 | 56,516,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -19 | -55 | -95 | -209 | -1,045 | -54,083 | -270,415 | -594,913 | -1,027,577 | -2,974,565 | -5,137,885 | -11,303,347 | -56,516,735 |
