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 58,532,461, 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 | 58,532,461 | |
| -1 | -58,532,461 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,532,461.
Example:
1 x 58,532,461 = 58,532,461
and
-1 x -58,532,461 = 58,532,461
Notice both answers equal 58,532,461
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,532,461 and divide it by 2:
58,532,461 ÷ 2 = 29,266,230.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,266,230.5 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 | 58,532,461 | |
| -1 | -58,532,461 |
Now, we try dividing 58,532,461 by 3:
58,532,461 ÷ 3 = 19,510,820.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,510,820.3333 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 | 58,532,461 | |
| -1 | -58,532,461 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,532,461 ÷ 4 = 14,633,115.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,633,115.25 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 | 58,532,461 | |
| -1 | 58,532,461 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 193 | 533 | 569 | 2,509 | 7,397 | 7,913 | 23,329 | 102,869 | 109,817 | 303,277 | 1,427,621 | 4,502,497 | 58,532,461 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -193 | -533 | -569 | -2,509 | -7,397 | -7,913 | -23,329 | -102,869 | -109,817 | -303,277 | -1,427,621 | -4,502,497 | -58,532,461 |
