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 58,472,519, 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 | 58,472,519 | |
| -1 | -58,472,519 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,472,519.
Example:
1 x 58,472,519 = 58,472,519
and
-1 x -58,472,519 = 58,472,519
Notice both answers equal 58,472,519
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,472,519 and divide it by 2:
58,472,519 ÷ 2 = 29,236,259.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,236,259.5 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 | 58,472,519 | |
| -1 | -58,472,519 |
Now, we try dividing 58,472,519 by 3:
58,472,519 ÷ 3 = 19,490,839.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,490,839.6667 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 | 58,472,519 | |
| -1 | -58,472,519 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,472,519 ÷ 4 = 14,618,129.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,618,129.75 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 | 58,472,519 | |
| -1 | 58,472,519 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 133 | 287 | 779 | 5,453 | 10,723 | 75,061 | 203,737 | 439,643 | 1,426,159 | 3,077,501 | 8,353,217 | 58,472,519 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -133 | -287 | -779 | -5,453 | -10,723 | -75,061 | -203,737 | -439,643 | -1,426,159 | -3,077,501 | -8,353,217 | -58,472,519 |
