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 58,872,925, 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 | 58,872,925 | |
| -1 | -58,872,925 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,872,925.
Example:
1 x 58,872,925 = 58,872,925
and
-1 x -58,872,925 = 58,872,925
Notice both answers equal 58,872,925
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,872,925 and divide it by 2:
58,872,925 ÷ 2 = 29,436,462.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,436,462.5 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 | 58,872,925 | |
| -1 | -58,872,925 |
Now, we try dividing 58,872,925 by 3:
58,872,925 ÷ 3 = 19,624,308.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,624,308.3333 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 | 58,872,925 | |
| -1 | -58,872,925 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,872,925 ÷ 4 = 14,718,231.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,718,231.25 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 | 58,872,925 | |
| -1 | 58,872,925 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 25 | 41 | 95 | 205 | 475 | 779 | 1,025 | 3,023 | 3,895 | 15,115 | 19,475 | 57,437 | 75,575 | 123,943 | 287,185 | 619,715 | 1,435,925 | 2,354,917 | 3,098,575 | 11,774,585 | 58,872,925 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -25 | -41 | -95 | -205 | -475 | -779 | -1,025 | -3,023 | -3,895 | -15,115 | -19,475 | -57,437 | -75,575 | -123,943 | -287,185 | -619,715 | -1,435,925 | -2,354,917 | -3,098,575 | -11,774,585 | -58,872,925 |
