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 58,950,005, 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 | 58,950,005 | |
| -1 | -58,950,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,950,005.
Example:
1 x 58,950,005 = 58,950,005
and
-1 x -58,950,005 = 58,950,005
Notice both answers equal 58,950,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,950,005 and divide it by 2:
58,950,005 ÷ 2 = 29,475,002.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,475,002.5 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 | 58,950,005 | |
| -1 | -58,950,005 |
Now, we try dividing 58,950,005 by 3:
58,950,005 ÷ 3 = 19,650,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,650,001.6667 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 | 58,950,005 | |
| -1 | -58,950,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,950,005 ÷ 4 = 14,737,501.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,737,501.25 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 | 58,950,005 | |
| -1 | 58,950,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 205 | 269 | 1,069 | 1,345 | 5,345 | 11,029 | 43,829 | 55,145 | 219,145 | 287,561 | 1,437,805 | 11,790,001 | 58,950,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -205 | -269 | -1,069 | -1,345 | -5,345 | -11,029 | -43,829 | -55,145 | -219,145 | -287,561 | -1,437,805 | -11,790,001 | -58,950,005 |
