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 56,962,345, 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 | 56,962,345 | |
| -1 | -56,962,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,962,345.
Example:
1 x 56,962,345 = 56,962,345
and
-1 x -56,962,345 = 56,962,345
Notice both answers equal 56,962,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,962,345 and divide it by 2:
56,962,345 ÷ 2 = 28,481,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,481,172.5 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 | 56,962,345 | |
| -1 | -56,962,345 |
Now, we try dividing 56,962,345 by 3:
56,962,345 ÷ 3 = 18,987,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,987,448.3333 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 | 56,962,345 | |
| -1 | -56,962,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,962,345 ÷ 4 = 14,240,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,240,586.25 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 | 56,962,345 | |
| -1 | 56,962,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 33,409 | 167,045 | 367,499 | 1,035,679 | 1,837,495 | 5,178,395 | 11,392,469 | 56,962,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -33,409 | -167,045 | -367,499 | -1,035,679 | -1,837,495 | -5,178,395 | -11,392,469 | -56,962,345 |
