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 57,170,677, 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 | 57,170,677 | |
| -1 | -57,170,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,170,677.
Example:
1 x 57,170,677 = 57,170,677
and
-1 x -57,170,677 = 57,170,677
Notice both answers equal 57,170,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,170,677 and divide it by 2:
57,170,677 ÷ 2 = 28,585,338.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,585,338.5 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 | 57,170,677 | |
| -1 | -57,170,677 |
Now, we try dividing 57,170,677 by 3:
57,170,677 ÷ 3 = 19,056,892.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,056,892.3333 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 | 57,170,677 | |
| -1 | -57,170,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,170,677 ÷ 4 = 14,292,669.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,292,669.25 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 | 57,170,677 | |
| -1 | 57,170,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 263 | 323 | 673 | 4,471 | 4,997 | 11,441 | 12,787 | 84,949 | 176,999 | 217,379 | 3,008,983 | 3,362,981 | 57,170,677 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -263 | -323 | -673 | -4,471 | -4,997 | -11,441 | -12,787 | -84,949 | -176,999 | -217,379 | -3,008,983 | -3,362,981 | -57,170,677 |
