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 57,289,015, 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 | 57,289,015 | |
| -1 | -57,289,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,289,015.
Example:
1 x 57,289,015 = 57,289,015
and
-1 x -57,289,015 = 57,289,015
Notice both answers equal 57,289,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,289,015 and divide it by 2:
57,289,015 ÷ 2 = 28,644,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,644,507.5 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 | 57,289,015 | |
| -1 | -57,289,015 |
Now, we try dividing 57,289,015 by 3:
57,289,015 ÷ 3 = 19,096,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,096,338.3333 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 | 57,289,015 | |
| -1 | -57,289,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,289,015 ÷ 4 = 14,322,253.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,322,253.75 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 | 57,289,015 | |
| -1 | 57,289,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 743 | 2,203 | 3,715 | 5,201 | 11,015 | 15,421 | 26,005 | 77,105 | 1,636,829 | 8,184,145 | 11,457,803 | 57,289,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -743 | -2,203 | -3,715 | -5,201 | -11,015 | -15,421 | -26,005 | -77,105 | -1,636,829 | -8,184,145 | -11,457,803 | -57,289,015 |
