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 58,328,483, 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 | 58,328,483 | |
| -1 | -58,328,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,328,483.
Example:
1 x 58,328,483 = 58,328,483
and
-1 x -58,328,483 = 58,328,483
Notice both answers equal 58,328,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,328,483 and divide it by 2:
58,328,483 ÷ 2 = 29,164,241.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,164,241.5 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 | 58,328,483 | |
| -1 | -58,328,483 |
Now, we try dividing 58,328,483 by 3:
58,328,483 ÷ 3 = 19,442,827.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,442,827.6667 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 | 58,328,483 | |
| -1 | -58,328,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,328,483 ÷ 4 = 14,582,120.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,582,120.75 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 | 58,328,483 | |
| -1 | 58,328,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 157 | 557 | 667 | 3,611 | 4,553 | 12,811 | 16,153 | 87,449 | 104,719 | 371,519 | 2,011,327 | 2,536,021 | 58,328,483 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -157 | -557 | -667 | -3,611 | -4,553 | -12,811 | -16,153 | -87,449 | -104,719 | -371,519 | -2,011,327 | -2,536,021 | -58,328,483 |
