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 58,856,083, 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 | 58,856,083 | |
| -1 | -58,856,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,856,083.
Example:
1 x 58,856,083 = 58,856,083
and
-1 x -58,856,083 = 58,856,083
Notice both answers equal 58,856,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,856,083 and divide it by 2:
58,856,083 ÷ 2 = 29,428,041.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,428,041.5 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 | 58,856,083 | |
| -1 | -58,856,083 |
Now, we try dividing 58,856,083 by 3:
58,856,083 ÷ 3 = 19,618,694.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,618,694.3333 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 | 58,856,083 | |
| -1 | -58,856,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,856,083 ÷ 4 = 14,714,020.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,714,020.75 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 | 58,856,083 | |
| -1 | 58,856,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 67 | 143 | 737 | 871 | 6,143 | 9,581 | 67,573 | 79,859 | 411,581 | 878,449 | 4,527,391 | 5,350,553 | 58,856,083 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -67 | -143 | -737 | -871 | -6,143 | -9,581 | -67,573 | -79,859 | -411,581 | -878,449 | -4,527,391 | -5,350,553 | -58,856,083 |
