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 56,624,569, 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 | 56,624,569 | |
| -1 | -56,624,569 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,624,569.
Example:
1 x 56,624,569 = 56,624,569
and
-1 x -56,624,569 = 56,624,569
Notice both answers equal 56,624,569
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,624,569 and divide it by 2:
56,624,569 ÷ 2 = 28,312,284.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,312,284.5 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 | 56,624,569 | |
| -1 | -56,624,569 |
Now, we try dividing 56,624,569 by 3:
56,624,569 ÷ 3 = 18,874,856.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,874,856.3333 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 | 56,624,569 | |
| -1 | -56,624,569 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,624,569 ÷ 4 = 14,156,142.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,156,142.25 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 | 56,624,569 | |
| -1 | 56,624,569 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 139 | 527 | 773 | 2,363 | 4,309 | 13,141 | 23,963 | 73,253 | 107,447 | 407,371 | 1,826,599 | 3,330,857 | 56,624,569 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -139 | -527 | -773 | -2,363 | -4,309 | -13,141 | -23,963 | -73,253 | -107,447 | -407,371 | -1,826,599 | -3,330,857 | -56,624,569 |
