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 58,415,483, 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 | 58,415,483 | |
| -1 | -58,415,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,415,483.
Example:
1 x 58,415,483 = 58,415,483
and
-1 x -58,415,483 = 58,415,483
Notice both answers equal 58,415,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,415,483 and divide it by 2:
58,415,483 ÷ 2 = 29,207,741.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,207,741.5 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 | 58,415,483 | |
| -1 | -58,415,483 |
Now, we try dividing 58,415,483 by 3:
58,415,483 ÷ 3 = 19,471,827.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,471,827.6667 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 | 58,415,483 | |
| -1 | -58,415,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,415,483 ÷ 4 = 14,603,870.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,603,870.75 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 | 58,415,483 | |
| -1 | 58,415,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 83 | 203 | 581 | 2,407 | 3,467 | 16,849 | 24,269 | 100,543 | 287,761 | 703,801 | 2,014,327 | 8,345,069 | 58,415,483 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -83 | -203 | -581 | -2,407 | -3,467 | -16,849 | -24,269 | -100,543 | -287,761 | -703,801 | -2,014,327 | -8,345,069 | -58,415,483 |
