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 58,688,825, 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 | 58,688,825 | |
| -1 | -58,688,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,688,825.
Example:
1 x 58,688,825 = 58,688,825
and
-1 x -58,688,825 = 58,688,825
Notice both answers equal 58,688,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,688,825 and divide it by 2:
58,688,825 ÷ 2 = 29,344,412.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,344,412.5 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 | 58,688,825 | |
| -1 | -58,688,825 |
Now, we try dividing 58,688,825 by 3:
58,688,825 ÷ 3 = 19,562,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,562,941.6667 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 | 58,688,825 | |
| -1 | -58,688,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,688,825 ÷ 4 = 14,672,206.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,672,206.25 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 | 58,688,825 | |
| -1 | 58,688,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 89 | 325 | 445 | 1,157 | 2,029 | 2,225 | 5,785 | 10,145 | 26,377 | 28,925 | 50,725 | 131,885 | 180,581 | 659,425 | 902,905 | 2,347,553 | 4,514,525 | 11,737,765 | 58,688,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -89 | -325 | -445 | -1,157 | -2,029 | -2,225 | -5,785 | -10,145 | -26,377 | -28,925 | -50,725 | -131,885 | -180,581 | -659,425 | -902,905 | -2,347,553 | -4,514,525 | -11,737,765 | -58,688,825 |
