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 56,602,465, 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 | 56,602,465 | |
| -1 | -56,602,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,602,465.
Example:
1 x 56,602,465 = 56,602,465
and
-1 x -56,602,465 = 56,602,465
Notice both answers equal 56,602,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,602,465 and divide it by 2:
56,602,465 ÷ 2 = 28,301,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,301,232.5 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 | 56,602,465 | |
| -1 | -56,602,465 |
Now, we try dividing 56,602,465 by 3:
56,602,465 ÷ 3 = 18,867,488.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,867,488.3333 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 | 56,602,465 | |
| -1 | -56,602,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,602,465 ÷ 4 = 14,150,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,150,616.25 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 | 56,602,465 | |
| -1 | 56,602,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 107 | 241 | 439 | 535 | 1,205 | 2,195 | 25,787 | 46,973 | 105,799 | 128,935 | 234,865 | 528,995 | 11,320,493 | 56,602,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -107 | -241 | -439 | -535 | -1,205 | -2,195 | -25,787 | -46,973 | -105,799 | -128,935 | -234,865 | -528,995 | -11,320,493 | -56,602,465 |
