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 58,361,327, 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 | 58,361,327 | |
| -1 | -58,361,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,361,327.
Example:
1 x 58,361,327 = 58,361,327
and
-1 x -58,361,327 = 58,361,327
Notice both answers equal 58,361,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,361,327 and divide it by 2:
58,361,327 ÷ 2 = 29,180,663.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,180,663.5 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 | 58,361,327 | |
| -1 | -58,361,327 |
Now, we try dividing 58,361,327 by 3:
58,361,327 ÷ 3 = 19,453,775.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,453,775.6667 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 | 58,361,327 | |
| -1 | -58,361,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,361,327 ÷ 4 = 14,590,331.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,590,331.75 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 | 58,361,327 | |
| -1 | 58,361,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 41 | 199 | 311 | 943 | 4,577 | 7,153 | 8,159 | 12,751 | 61,889 | 187,657 | 293,273 | 1,423,447 | 2,537,449 | 58,361,327 |
| -1 | -23 | -41 | -199 | -311 | -943 | -4,577 | -7,153 | -8,159 | -12,751 | -61,889 | -187,657 | -293,273 | -1,423,447 | -2,537,449 | -58,361,327 |
