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 57,088,331, 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 | 57,088,331 | |
| -1 | -57,088,331 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,088,331.
Example:
1 x 57,088,331 = 57,088,331
and
-1 x -57,088,331 = 57,088,331
Notice both answers equal 57,088,331
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,088,331 and divide it by 2:
57,088,331 ÷ 2 = 28,544,165.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,544,165.5 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 | 57,088,331 | |
| -1 | -57,088,331 |
Now, we try dividing 57,088,331 by 3:
57,088,331 ÷ 3 = 19,029,443.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,029,443.6667 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 | 57,088,331 | |
| -1 | -57,088,331 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,088,331 ÷ 4 = 14,272,082.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,272,082.75 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 | 57,088,331 | |
| -1 | 57,088,331 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 71 | 101 | 419 | 1,349 | 1,919 | 7,171 | 7,961 | 29,749 | 42,319 | 136,249 | 565,231 | 804,061 | 3,004,649 | 57,088,331 |
| -1 | -19 | -71 | -101 | -419 | -1,349 | -1,919 | -7,171 | -7,961 | -29,749 | -42,319 | -136,249 | -565,231 | -804,061 | -3,004,649 | -57,088,331 |
