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 57,434,645, 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 | 57,434,645 | |
| -1 | -57,434,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,434,645.
Example:
1 x 57,434,645 = 57,434,645
and
-1 x -57,434,645 = 57,434,645
Notice both answers equal 57,434,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,434,645 and divide it by 2:
57,434,645 ÷ 2 = 28,717,322.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,717,322.5 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 | 57,434,645 | |
| -1 | -57,434,645 |
Now, we try dividing 57,434,645 by 3:
57,434,645 ÷ 3 = 19,144,881.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,144,881.6667 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 | 57,434,645 | |
| -1 | -57,434,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,434,645 ÷ 4 = 14,358,661.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,358,661.25 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 | 57,434,645 | |
| -1 | 57,434,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 41 | 145 | 205 | 1,189 | 5,945 | 9,661 | 48,305 | 280,169 | 396,101 | 1,400,845 | 1,980,505 | 11,486,929 | 57,434,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -41 | -145 | -205 | -1,189 | -5,945 | -9,661 | -48,305 | -280,169 | -396,101 | -1,400,845 | -1,980,505 | -11,486,929 | -57,434,645 |
