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 57,300,679, 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 | 57,300,679 | |
| -1 | -57,300,679 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,300,679.
Example:
1 x 57,300,679 = 57,300,679
and
-1 x -57,300,679 = 57,300,679
Notice both answers equal 57,300,679
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,300,679 and divide it by 2:
57,300,679 ÷ 2 = 28,650,339.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,650,339.5 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 | 57,300,679 | |
| -1 | -57,300,679 |
Now, we try dividing 57,300,679 by 3:
57,300,679 ÷ 3 = 19,100,226.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,100,226.3333 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 | 57,300,679 | |
| -1 | -57,300,679 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,300,679 ÷ 4 = 14,325,169.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,325,169.75 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 | 57,300,679 | |
| -1 | 57,300,679 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 37 | 1,147 | 49,957 | 1,548,667 | 1,848,409 | 57,300,679 |
| -1 | -31 | -37 | -1,147 | -49,957 | -1,548,667 | -1,848,409 | -57,300,679 |
