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 57,368,831, 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 | 57,368,831 | |
| -1 | -57,368,831 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,368,831.
Example:
1 x 57,368,831 = 57,368,831
and
-1 x -57,368,831 = 57,368,831
Notice both answers equal 57,368,831
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,368,831 and divide it by 2:
57,368,831 ÷ 2 = 28,684,415.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,684,415.5 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 | 57,368,831 | |
| -1 | -57,368,831 |
Now, we try dividing 57,368,831 by 3:
57,368,831 ÷ 3 = 19,122,943.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,122,943.6667 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 | 57,368,831 | |
| -1 | -57,368,831 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,368,831 ÷ 4 = 14,342,207.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,342,207.75 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 | 57,368,831 | |
| -1 | 57,368,831 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 299 | 313 | 613 | 4,069 | 7,199 | 7,969 | 14,099 | 93,587 | 183,287 | 191,869 | 2,494,297 | 4,412,987 | 57,368,831 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -299 | -313 | -613 | -4,069 | -7,199 | -7,969 | -14,099 | -93,587 | -183,287 | -191,869 | -2,494,297 | -4,412,987 | -57,368,831 |
