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 57,726,955, 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 | 57,726,955 | |
| -1 | -57,726,955 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,726,955.
Example:
1 x 57,726,955 = 57,726,955
and
-1 x -57,726,955 = 57,726,955
Notice both answers equal 57,726,955
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,726,955 and divide it by 2:
57,726,955 ÷ 2 = 28,863,477.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,863,477.5 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 | 57,726,955 | |
| -1 | -57,726,955 |
Now, we try dividing 57,726,955 by 3:
57,726,955 ÷ 3 = 19,242,318.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,242,318.3333 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 | 57,726,955 | |
| -1 | -57,726,955 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,726,955 ÷ 4 = 14,431,738.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,431,738.75 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 | 57,726,955 | |
| -1 | 57,726,955 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 80,737 | 403,685 | 888,107 | 1,049,581 | 4,440,535 | 5,247,905 | 11,545,391 | 57,726,955 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -80,737 | -403,685 | -888,107 | -1,049,581 | -4,440,535 | -5,247,905 | -11,545,391 | -57,726,955 |
