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 57,536,555, 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 | 57,536,555 | |
| -1 | -57,536,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,536,555.
Example:
1 x 57,536,555 = 57,536,555
and
-1 x -57,536,555 = 57,536,555
Notice both answers equal 57,536,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,536,555 and divide it by 2:
57,536,555 ÷ 2 = 28,768,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,768,277.5 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 | 57,536,555 | |
| -1 | -57,536,555 |
Now, we try dividing 57,536,555 by 3:
57,536,555 ÷ 3 = 19,178,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,178,851.6667 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 | 57,536,555 | |
| -1 | -57,536,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,536,555 ÷ 4 = 14,384,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,384,138.75 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 | 57,536,555 | |
| -1 | 57,536,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 163 | 227 | 311 | 815 | 1,135 | 1,555 | 37,001 | 50,693 | 70,597 | 185,005 | 253,465 | 352,985 | 11,507,311 | 57,536,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -163 | -227 | -311 | -815 | -1,135 | -1,555 | -37,001 | -50,693 | -70,597 | -185,005 | -253,465 | -352,985 | -11,507,311 | -57,536,555 |
