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 56,564,677, 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 | 56,564,677 | |
| -1 | -56,564,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,564,677.
Example:
1 x 56,564,677 = 56,564,677
and
-1 x -56,564,677 = 56,564,677
Notice both answers equal 56,564,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,564,677 and divide it by 2:
56,564,677 ÷ 2 = 28,282,338.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,282,338.5 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 | 56,564,677 | |
| -1 | -56,564,677 |
Now, we try dividing 56,564,677 by 3:
56,564,677 ÷ 3 = 18,854,892.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,854,892.3333 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 | 56,564,677 | |
| -1 | -56,564,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,564,677 ÷ 4 = 14,141,169.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,141,169.25 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 | 56,564,677 | |
| -1 | 56,564,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 97 | 403 | 1,261 | 1,447 | 3,007 | 18,811 | 39,091 | 44,857 | 140,359 | 583,141 | 1,824,667 | 4,351,129 | 56,564,677 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -97 | -403 | -1,261 | -1,447 | -3,007 | -18,811 | -39,091 | -44,857 | -140,359 | -583,141 | -1,824,667 | -4,351,129 | -56,564,677 |
