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 58,455,023, 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 | 58,455,023 | |
| -1 | -58,455,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,455,023.
Example:
1 x 58,455,023 = 58,455,023
and
-1 x -58,455,023 = 58,455,023
Notice both answers equal 58,455,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,455,023 and divide it by 2:
58,455,023 ÷ 2 = 29,227,511.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,227,511.5 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 | 58,455,023 | |
| -1 | -58,455,023 |
Now, we try dividing 58,455,023 by 3:
58,455,023 ÷ 3 = 19,485,007.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,485,007.6667 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 | 58,455,023 | |
| -1 | -58,455,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,455,023 ÷ 4 = 14,613,755.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,613,755.75 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 | 58,455,023 | |
| -1 | 58,455,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 79 | 137 | 491 | 869 | 1,507 | 5,401 | 10,823 | 38,789 | 67,267 | 119,053 | 426,679 | 739,937 | 5,314,093 | 58,455,023 |
| -1 | -11 | -79 | -137 | -491 | -869 | -1,507 | -5,401 | -10,823 | -38,789 | -67,267 | -119,053 | -426,679 | -739,937 | -5,314,093 | -58,455,023 |
