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 57,251,575, 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 | 57,251,575 | |
| -1 | -57,251,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,251,575.
Example:
1 x 57,251,575 = 57,251,575
and
-1 x -57,251,575 = 57,251,575
Notice both answers equal 57,251,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,251,575 and divide it by 2:
57,251,575 ÷ 2 = 28,625,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,625,787.5 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 | 57,251,575 | |
| -1 | -57,251,575 |
Now, we try dividing 57,251,575 by 3:
57,251,575 ÷ 3 = 19,083,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,083,858.3333 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 | 57,251,575 | |
| -1 | -57,251,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,251,575 ÷ 4 = 14,312,893.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,312,893.75 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 | 57,251,575 | |
| -1 | 57,251,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 155 | 775 | 961 | 2,383 | 4,805 | 11,915 | 24,025 | 59,575 | 73,873 | 369,365 | 1,846,825 | 2,290,063 | 11,450,315 | 57,251,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -155 | -775 | -961 | -2,383 | -4,805 | -11,915 | -24,025 | -59,575 | -73,873 | -369,365 | -1,846,825 | -2,290,063 | -11,450,315 | -57,251,575 |
