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 56,777,071, 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 | 56,777,071 | |
| -1 | -56,777,071 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,777,071.
Example:
1 x 56,777,071 = 56,777,071
and
-1 x -56,777,071 = 56,777,071
Notice both answers equal 56,777,071
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,777,071 and divide it by 2:
56,777,071 ÷ 2 = 28,388,535.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,388,535.5 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 | 56,777,071 | |
| -1 | -56,777,071 |
Now, we try dividing 56,777,071 by 3:
56,777,071 ÷ 3 = 18,925,690.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,925,690.3333 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 | 56,777,071 | |
| -1 | -56,777,071 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,777,071 ÷ 4 = 14,194,267.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,194,267.75 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 | 56,777,071 | |
| -1 | 56,777,071 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 169 | 559 | 601 | 2,197 | 7,267 | 7,813 | 25,843 | 94,471 | 101,569 | 335,959 | 1,320,397 | 4,367,467 | 56,777,071 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -169 | -559 | -601 | -2,197 | -7,267 | -7,813 | -25,843 | -94,471 | -101,569 | -335,959 | -1,320,397 | -4,367,467 | -56,777,071 |
