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 57,999,875, 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 | 57,999,875 | |
| -1 | -57,999,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,999,875.
Example:
1 x 57,999,875 = 57,999,875
and
-1 x -57,999,875 = 57,999,875
Notice both answers equal 57,999,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,999,875 and divide it by 2:
57,999,875 ÷ 2 = 28,999,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,999,937.5 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 | 57,999,875 | |
| -1 | -57,999,875 |
Now, we try dividing 57,999,875 by 3:
57,999,875 ÷ 3 = 19,333,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,333,291.6667 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 | 57,999,875 | |
| -1 | -57,999,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,999,875 ÷ 4 = 14,499,968.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,499,968.75 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 | 57,999,875 | |
| -1 | 57,999,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 95 | 125 | 475 | 2,375 | 24,421 | 122,105 | 463,999 | 610,525 | 2,319,995 | 3,052,625 | 11,599,975 | 57,999,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -95 | -125 | -475 | -2,375 | -24,421 | -122,105 | -463,999 | -610,525 | -2,319,995 | -3,052,625 | -11,599,975 | -57,999,875 |
