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 56,600,411, 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 | 56,600,411 | |
| -1 | -56,600,411 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,600,411.
Example:
1 x 56,600,411 = 56,600,411
and
-1 x -56,600,411 = 56,600,411
Notice both answers equal 56,600,411
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,600,411 and divide it by 2:
56,600,411 ÷ 2 = 28,300,205.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,300,205.5 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 | 56,600,411 | |
| -1 | -56,600,411 |
Now, we try dividing 56,600,411 by 3:
56,600,411 ÷ 3 = 18,866,803.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,866,803.6667 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 | 56,600,411 | |
| -1 | -56,600,411 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,600,411 ÷ 4 = 14,150,102.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,150,102.75 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 | 56,600,411 | |
| -1 | 56,600,411 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 59 | 133 | 413 | 1,121 | 7,213 | 7,847 | 50,491 | 137,047 | 425,567 | 959,329 | 2,978,969 | 8,085,773 | 56,600,411 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -59 | -133 | -413 | -1,121 | -7,213 | -7,847 | -50,491 | -137,047 | -425,567 | -959,329 | -2,978,969 | -8,085,773 | -56,600,411 |
