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 57,060,685, 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 | 57,060,685 | |
| -1 | -57,060,685 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,060,685.
Example:
1 x 57,060,685 = 57,060,685
and
-1 x -57,060,685 = 57,060,685
Notice both answers equal 57,060,685
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,060,685 and divide it by 2:
57,060,685 ÷ 2 = 28,530,342.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,530,342.5 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 | 57,060,685 | |
| -1 | -57,060,685 |
Now, we try dividing 57,060,685 by 3:
57,060,685 ÷ 3 = 19,020,228.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,020,228.3333 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 | 57,060,685 | |
| -1 | -57,060,685 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,060,685 ÷ 4 = 14,265,171.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,265,171.25 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 | 57,060,685 | |
| -1 | 57,060,685 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 353 | 1,765 | 2,939 | 3,883 | 14,695 | 19,415 | 32,329 | 161,645 | 1,037,467 | 5,187,335 | 11,412,137 | 57,060,685 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -353 | -1,765 | -2,939 | -3,883 | -14,695 | -19,415 | -32,329 | -161,645 | -1,037,467 | -5,187,335 | -11,412,137 | -57,060,685 |
