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 56,923,559, 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 | 56,923,559 | |
| -1 | -56,923,559 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,923,559.
Example:
1 x 56,923,559 = 56,923,559
and
-1 x -56,923,559 = 56,923,559
Notice both answers equal 56,923,559
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,923,559 and divide it by 2:
56,923,559 ÷ 2 = 28,461,779.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,461,779.5 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 | 56,923,559 | |
| -1 | -56,923,559 |
Now, we try dividing 56,923,559 by 3:
56,923,559 ÷ 3 = 18,974,519.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,974,519.6667 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 | 56,923,559 | |
| -1 | -56,923,559 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,923,559 ÷ 4 = 14,230,889.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,230,889.75 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 | 56,923,559 | |
| -1 | 56,923,559 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 127 | 889 | 1,397 | 5,821 | 9,779 | 40,747 | 64,031 | 448,217 | 739,267 | 5,174,869 | 8,131,937 | 56,923,559 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -127 | -889 | -1,397 | -5,821 | -9,779 | -40,747 | -64,031 | -448,217 | -739,267 | -5,174,869 | -8,131,937 | -56,923,559 |
