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 57,826,129, 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 | 57,826,129 | |
| -1 | -57,826,129 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,826,129.
Example:
1 x 57,826,129 = 57,826,129
and
-1 x -57,826,129 = 57,826,129
Notice both answers equal 57,826,129
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,826,129 and divide it by 2:
57,826,129 ÷ 2 = 28,913,064.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,913,064.5 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 | 57,826,129 | |
| -1 | -57,826,129 |
Now, we try dividing 57,826,129 by 3:
57,826,129 ÷ 3 = 19,275,376.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,275,376.3333 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 | 57,826,129 | |
| -1 | -57,826,129 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,826,129 ÷ 4 = 14,456,532.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,456,532.25 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 | 57,826,129 | |
| -1 | 57,826,129 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 179 | 527 | 613 | 3,043 | 5,549 | 10,421 | 19,003 | 94,333 | 109,727 | 323,051 | 1,865,359 | 3,401,537 | 57,826,129 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -179 | -527 | -613 | -3,043 | -5,549 | -10,421 | -19,003 | -94,333 | -109,727 | -323,051 | -1,865,359 | -3,401,537 | -57,826,129 |
