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 57,327,263, 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 | 57,327,263 | |
| -1 | -57,327,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,327,263.
Example:
1 x 57,327,263 = 57,327,263
and
-1 x -57,327,263 = 57,327,263
Notice both answers equal 57,327,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,327,263 and divide it by 2:
57,327,263 ÷ 2 = 28,663,631.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,663,631.5 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 | 57,327,263 | |
| -1 | -57,327,263 |
Now, we try dividing 57,327,263 by 3:
57,327,263 ÷ 3 = 19,109,087.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,109,087.6667 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 | 57,327,263 | |
| -1 | -57,327,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,327,263 ÷ 4 = 14,331,815.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,331,815.75 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 | 57,327,263 | |
| -1 | 57,327,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 163 | 329 | 1,069 | 1,141 | 7,483 | 7,661 | 50,243 | 53,627 | 174,247 | 351,701 | 1,219,729 | 8,189,609 | 57,327,263 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -163 | -329 | -1,069 | -1,141 | -7,483 | -7,661 | -50,243 | -53,627 | -174,247 | -351,701 | -1,219,729 | -8,189,609 | -57,327,263 |
