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 56,646,445, 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 | 56,646,445 | |
| -1 | -56,646,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,646,445.
Example:
1 x 56,646,445 = 56,646,445
and
-1 x -56,646,445 = 56,646,445
Notice both answers equal 56,646,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,646,445 and divide it by 2:
56,646,445 ÷ 2 = 28,323,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,323,222.5 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 | 56,646,445 | |
| -1 | -56,646,445 |
Now, we try dividing 56,646,445 by 3:
56,646,445 ÷ 3 = 18,882,148.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,882,148.3333 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 | 56,646,445 | |
| -1 | -56,646,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,646,445 ÷ 4 = 14,161,611.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,161,611.25 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 | 56,646,445 | |
| -1 | 56,646,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 127 | 185 | 635 | 2,411 | 4,699 | 12,055 | 23,495 | 89,207 | 306,197 | 446,035 | 1,530,985 | 11,329,289 | 56,646,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -127 | -185 | -635 | -2,411 | -4,699 | -12,055 | -23,495 | -89,207 | -306,197 | -446,035 | -1,530,985 | -11,329,289 | -56,646,445 |
