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 58,255,379, 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 | 58,255,379 | |
| -1 | -58,255,379 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,255,379.
Example:
1 x 58,255,379 = 58,255,379
and
-1 x -58,255,379 = 58,255,379
Notice both answers equal 58,255,379
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,255,379 and divide it by 2:
58,255,379 ÷ 2 = 29,127,689.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,127,689.5 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 | 58,255,379 | |
| -1 | -58,255,379 |
Now, we try dividing 58,255,379 by 3:
58,255,379 ÷ 3 = 19,418,459.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,418,459.6667 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 | 58,255,379 | |
| -1 | -58,255,379 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,255,379 ÷ 4 = 14,563,844.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,563,844.75 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 | 58,255,379 | |
| -1 | 58,255,379 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 17 | 91 | 119 | 221 | 1,547 | 37,657 | 263,599 | 489,541 | 640,169 | 3,426,787 | 4,481,183 | 8,322,197 | 58,255,379 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -17 | -91 | -119 | -221 | -1,547 | -37,657 | -263,599 | -489,541 | -640,169 | -3,426,787 | -4,481,183 | -8,322,197 | -58,255,379 |
