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 58,548,287, 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 | 58,548,287 | |
| -1 | -58,548,287 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,548,287.
Example:
1 x 58,548,287 = 58,548,287
and
-1 x -58,548,287 = 58,548,287
Notice both answers equal 58,548,287
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,548,287 and divide it by 2:
58,548,287 ÷ 2 = 29,274,143.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,274,143.5 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 | 58,548,287 | |
| -1 | -58,548,287 |
Now, we try dividing 58,548,287 by 3:
58,548,287 ÷ 3 = 19,516,095.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,516,095.6667 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 | 58,548,287 | |
| -1 | -58,548,287 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,548,287 ÷ 4 = 14,637,071.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,637,071.75 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 | 58,548,287 | |
| -1 | 58,548,287 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 49 | 151 | 193 | 287 | 1,057 | 1,351 | 2,009 | 6,191 | 7,399 | 7,913 | 9,457 | 29,143 | 43,337 | 55,391 | 204,001 | 303,359 | 387,737 | 1,194,863 | 1,428,007 | 8,364,041 | 58,548,287 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -49 | -151 | -193 | -287 | -1,057 | -1,351 | -2,009 | -6,191 | -7,399 | -7,913 | -9,457 | -29,143 | -43,337 | -55,391 | -204,001 | -303,359 | -387,737 | -1,194,863 | -1,428,007 | -8,364,041 | -58,548,287 |
