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 56,970,295, 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 | 56,970,295 | |
| -1 | -56,970,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 56,970,295.
Example:
1 x 56,970,295 = 56,970,295
and
-1 x -56,970,295 = 56,970,295
Notice both answers equal 56,970,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 56,970,295 and divide it by 2:
56,970,295 ÷ 2 = 28,485,147.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,485,147.5 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 | 56,970,295 | |
| -1 | -56,970,295 |
Now, we try dividing 56,970,295 by 3:
56,970,295 ÷ 3 = 18,990,098.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 18,990,098.3333 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 | 56,970,295 | |
| -1 | -56,970,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
56,970,295 ÷ 4 = 14,242,573.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,242,573.75 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 | 56,970,295 | |
| -1 | 56,970,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 73 | 127 | 365 | 635 | 1,229 | 6,145 | 9,271 | 46,355 | 89,717 | 156,083 | 448,585 | 780,415 | 11,394,059 | 56,970,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -73 | -127 | -365 | -635 | -1,229 | -6,145 | -9,271 | -46,355 | -89,717 | -156,083 | -448,585 | -780,415 | -11,394,059 | -56,970,295 |
