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 56,521,045, 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 | 56,521,045 | |
| -1 | -56,521,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,521,045.
Example:
1 x 56,521,045 = 56,521,045
and
-1 x -56,521,045 = 56,521,045
Notice both answers equal 56,521,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,521,045 and divide it by 2:
56,521,045 ÷ 2 = 28,260,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,260,522.5 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 | 56,521,045 | |
| -1 | -56,521,045 |
Now, we try dividing 56,521,045 by 3:
56,521,045 ÷ 3 = 18,840,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,840,348.3333 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 | 56,521,045 | |
| -1 | -56,521,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,521,045 ÷ 4 = 14,130,261.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,130,261.25 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 | 56,521,045 | |
| -1 | 56,521,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 601 | 2,687 | 3,005 | 4,207 | 13,435 | 18,809 | 21,035 | 94,045 | 1,614,887 | 8,074,435 | 11,304,209 | 56,521,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -601 | -2,687 | -3,005 | -4,207 | -13,435 | -18,809 | -21,035 | -94,045 | -1,614,887 | -8,074,435 | -11,304,209 | -56,521,045 |
