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 58,023,635, 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 | 58,023,635 | |
| -1 | -58,023,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,023,635.
Example:
1 x 58,023,635 = 58,023,635
and
-1 x -58,023,635 = 58,023,635
Notice both answers equal 58,023,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,023,635 and divide it by 2:
58,023,635 ÷ 2 = 29,011,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,011,817.5 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 | 58,023,635 | |
| -1 | -58,023,635 |
Now, we try dividing 58,023,635 by 3:
58,023,635 ÷ 3 = 19,341,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,341,211.6667 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 | 58,023,635 | |
| -1 | -58,023,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,023,635 ÷ 4 = 14,505,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,505,908.75 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 | 58,023,635 | |
| -1 | 58,023,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 23,539 | 117,695 | 400,163 | 682,631 | 2,000,815 | 3,413,155 | 11,604,727 | 58,023,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -23,539 | -117,695 | -400,163 | -682,631 | -2,000,815 | -3,413,155 | -11,604,727 | -58,023,635 |
