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 57,304,345, 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 | 57,304,345 | |
| -1 | -57,304,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,304,345.
Example:
1 x 57,304,345 = 57,304,345
and
-1 x -57,304,345 = 57,304,345
Notice both answers equal 57,304,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,304,345 and divide it by 2:
57,304,345 ÷ 2 = 28,652,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,652,172.5 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 | 57,304,345 | |
| -1 | -57,304,345 |
Now, we try dividing 57,304,345 by 3:
57,304,345 ÷ 3 = 19,101,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,101,448.3333 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 | 57,304,345 | |
| -1 | -57,304,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,304,345 ÷ 4 = 14,326,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,326,086.25 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 | 57,304,345 | |
| -1 | 57,304,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 197 | 985 | 1,379 | 6,895 | 8,311 | 41,555 | 58,177 | 290,885 | 1,637,267 | 8,186,335 | 11,460,869 | 57,304,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -197 | -985 | -1,379 | -6,895 | -8,311 | -41,555 | -58,177 | -290,885 | -1,637,267 | -8,186,335 | -11,460,869 | -57,304,345 |
