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 58,817,935, 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 | 58,817,935 | |
| -1 | -58,817,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,817,935.
Example:
1 x 58,817,935 = 58,817,935
and
-1 x -58,817,935 = 58,817,935
Notice both answers equal 58,817,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,817,935 and divide it by 2:
58,817,935 ÷ 2 = 29,408,967.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,408,967.5 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 | 58,817,935 | |
| -1 | -58,817,935 |
Now, we try dividing 58,817,935 by 3:
58,817,935 ÷ 3 = 19,605,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,605,978.3333 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 | 58,817,935 | |
| -1 | -58,817,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,817,935 ÷ 4 = 14,704,483.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,704,483.75 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 | 58,817,935 | |
| -1 | 58,817,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 727 | 1,471 | 3,635 | 7,355 | 7,997 | 16,181 | 39,985 | 80,905 | 1,069,417 | 5,347,085 | 11,763,587 | 58,817,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -727 | -1,471 | -3,635 | -7,355 | -7,997 | -16,181 | -39,985 | -80,905 | -1,069,417 | -5,347,085 | -11,763,587 | -58,817,935 |
