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 57,100,603, 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 | 57,100,603 | |
| -1 | -57,100,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,100,603.
Example:
1 x 57,100,603 = 57,100,603
and
-1 x -57,100,603 = 57,100,603
Notice both answers equal 57,100,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,100,603 and divide it by 2:
57,100,603 ÷ 2 = 28,550,301.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,550,301.5 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 | 57,100,603 | |
| -1 | -57,100,603 |
Now, we try dividing 57,100,603 by 3:
57,100,603 ÷ 3 = 19,033,534.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,033,534.3333 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 | 57,100,603 | |
| -1 | -57,100,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,100,603 ÷ 4 = 14,275,150.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,275,150.75 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 | 57,100,603 | |
| -1 | 57,100,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 43 | 119 | 301 | 731 | 5,117 | 11,159 | 78,113 | 189,703 | 479,837 | 1,327,921 | 3,358,859 | 8,157,229 | 57,100,603 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -43 | -119 | -301 | -731 | -5,117 | -11,159 | -78,113 | -189,703 | -479,837 | -1,327,921 | -3,358,859 | -8,157,229 | -57,100,603 |
