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 57,536,369, 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 | 57,536,369 | |
| -1 | -57,536,369 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,536,369.
Example:
1 x 57,536,369 = 57,536,369
and
-1 x -57,536,369 = 57,536,369
Notice both answers equal 57,536,369
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,536,369 and divide it by 2:
57,536,369 ÷ 2 = 28,768,184.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,768,184.5 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 | 57,536,369 | |
| -1 | -57,536,369 |
Now, we try dividing 57,536,369 by 3:
57,536,369 ÷ 3 = 19,178,789.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,178,789.6667 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 | 57,536,369 | |
| -1 | -57,536,369 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,536,369 ÷ 4 = 14,384,092.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,384,092.25 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 | 57,536,369 | |
| -1 | 57,536,369 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 373 | 379 | 407 | 4,103 | 4,169 | 13,801 | 14,023 | 141,367 | 151,811 | 154,253 | 1,555,037 | 5,230,579 | 57,536,369 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -373 | -379 | -407 | -4,103 | -4,169 | -13,801 | -14,023 | -141,367 | -151,811 | -154,253 | -1,555,037 | -5,230,579 | -57,536,369 |
