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 58,404,785, 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 | 58,404,785 | |
| -1 | -58,404,785 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,404,785.
Example:
1 x 58,404,785 = 58,404,785
and
-1 x -58,404,785 = 58,404,785
Notice both answers equal 58,404,785
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,404,785 and divide it by 2:
58,404,785 ÷ 2 = 29,202,392.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,202,392.5 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 | 58,404,785 | |
| -1 | -58,404,785 |
Now, we try dividing 58,404,785 by 3:
58,404,785 ÷ 3 = 19,468,261.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,468,261.6667 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 | 58,404,785 | |
| -1 | -58,404,785 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,404,785 ÷ 4 = 14,601,196.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,601,196.25 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 | 58,404,785 | |
| -1 | 58,404,785 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 157 | 235 | 785 | 1,583 | 7,379 | 7,915 | 36,895 | 74,401 | 248,531 | 372,005 | 1,242,655 | 11,680,957 | 58,404,785 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -157 | -235 | -785 | -1,583 | -7,379 | -7,915 | -36,895 | -74,401 | -248,531 | -372,005 | -1,242,655 | -11,680,957 | -58,404,785 |
