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 57,734,771, 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 | 57,734,771 | |
| -1 | -57,734,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,734,771.
Example:
1 x 57,734,771 = 57,734,771
and
-1 x -57,734,771 = 57,734,771
Notice both answers equal 57,734,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,734,771 and divide it by 2:
57,734,771 ÷ 2 = 28,867,385.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,867,385.5 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 | 57,734,771 | |
| -1 | -57,734,771 |
Now, we try dividing 57,734,771 by 3:
57,734,771 ÷ 3 = 19,244,923.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,244,923.6667 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 | 57,734,771 | |
| -1 | -57,734,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,734,771 ÷ 4 = 14,433,692.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,433,692.75 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 | 57,734,771 | |
| -1 | 57,734,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 67 | 173 | 293 | 1,139 | 2,941 | 4,981 | 11,591 | 19,631 | 50,689 | 197,047 | 333,727 | 861,713 | 3,396,163 | 57,734,771 |
| -1 | -17 | -67 | -173 | -293 | -1,139 | -2,941 | -4,981 | -11,591 | -19,631 | -50,689 | -197,047 | -333,727 | -861,713 | -3,396,163 | -57,734,771 |
