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 58,282,555, 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 | 58,282,555 | |
| -1 | -58,282,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,282,555.
Example:
1 x 58,282,555 = 58,282,555
and
-1 x -58,282,555 = 58,282,555
Notice both answers equal 58,282,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,282,555 and divide it by 2:
58,282,555 ÷ 2 = 29,141,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,141,277.5 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 | 58,282,555 | |
| -1 | -58,282,555 |
Now, we try dividing 58,282,555 by 3:
58,282,555 ÷ 3 = 19,427,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,427,518.3333 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 | 58,282,555 | |
| -1 | -58,282,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,282,555 ÷ 4 = 14,570,638.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,570,638.75 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 | 58,282,555 | |
| -1 | 58,282,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 131 | 505 | 655 | 881 | 4,405 | 13,231 | 66,155 | 88,981 | 115,411 | 444,905 | 577,055 | 11,656,511 | 58,282,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -131 | -505 | -655 | -881 | -4,405 | -13,231 | -66,155 | -88,981 | -115,411 | -444,905 | -577,055 | -11,656,511 | -58,282,555 |
