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 58,262,897, 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 | 58,262,897 | |
| -1 | -58,262,897 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,262,897.
Example:
1 x 58,262,897 = 58,262,897
and
-1 x -58,262,897 = 58,262,897
Notice both answers equal 58,262,897
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,262,897 and divide it by 2:
58,262,897 ÷ 2 = 29,131,448.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,131,448.5 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 | 58,262,897 | |
| -1 | -58,262,897 |
Now, we try dividing 58,262,897 by 3:
58,262,897 ÷ 3 = 19,420,965.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,420,965.6667 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 | 58,262,897 | |
| -1 | -58,262,897 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,262,897 ÷ 4 = 14,565,724.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,565,724.25 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 | 58,262,897 | |
| -1 | 58,262,897 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 151 | 1,057 | 1,661 | 5,011 | 11,627 | 35,077 | 55,121 | 385,847 | 756,661 | 5,296,627 | 8,323,271 | 58,262,897 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -151 | -1,057 | -1,661 | -5,011 | -11,627 | -35,077 | -55,121 | -385,847 | -756,661 | -5,296,627 | -8,323,271 | -58,262,897 |
