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 58,358,255, 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 | 58,358,255 | |
| -1 | -58,358,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,358,255.
Example:
1 x 58,358,255 = 58,358,255
and
-1 x -58,358,255 = 58,358,255
Notice both answers equal 58,358,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,358,255 and divide it by 2:
58,358,255 ÷ 2 = 29,179,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,179,127.5 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 | 58,358,255 | |
| -1 | -58,358,255 |
Now, we try dividing 58,358,255 by 3:
58,358,255 ÷ 3 = 19,452,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,452,751.6667 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 | 58,358,255 | |
| -1 | -58,358,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,358,255 ÷ 4 = 14,589,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,589,563.75 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 | 58,358,255 | |
| -1 | 58,358,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 103 | 235 | 515 | 2,411 | 4,841 | 12,055 | 24,205 | 113,317 | 248,333 | 566,585 | 1,241,665 | 11,671,651 | 58,358,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -103 | -235 | -515 | -2,411 | -4,841 | -12,055 | -24,205 | -113,317 | -248,333 | -566,585 | -1,241,665 | -11,671,651 | -58,358,255 |
