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 57,927,961, 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 | 57,927,961 | |
| -1 | -57,927,961 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,927,961.
Example:
1 x 57,927,961 = 57,927,961
and
-1 x -57,927,961 = 57,927,961
Notice both answers equal 57,927,961
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,927,961 and divide it by 2:
57,927,961 ÷ 2 = 28,963,980.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,963,980.5 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 | 57,927,961 | |
| -1 | -57,927,961 |
Now, we try dividing 57,927,961 by 3:
57,927,961 ÷ 3 = 19,309,320.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,309,320.3333 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 | 57,927,961 | |
| -1 | -57,927,961 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,927,961 ÷ 4 = 14,481,990.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,481,990.25 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 | 57,927,961 | |
| -1 | 57,927,961 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 169 | 299 | 1,183 | 2,093 | 2,129 | 3,887 | 14,903 | 27,209 | 27,677 | 48,967 | 193,739 | 342,769 | 359,801 | 636,571 | 2,518,607 | 4,455,997 | 8,275,423 | 57,927,961 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -169 | -299 | -1,183 | -2,093 | -2,129 | -3,887 | -14,903 | -27,209 | -27,677 | -48,967 | -193,739 | -342,769 | -359,801 | -636,571 | -2,518,607 | -4,455,997 | -8,275,423 | -57,927,961 |
