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 58,968,803, 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 | 58,968,803 | |
| -1 | -58,968,803 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 58,968,803.
Example:
1 x 58,968,803 = 58,968,803
and
-1 x -58,968,803 = 58,968,803
Notice both answers equal 58,968,803
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 58,968,803 and divide it by 2:
58,968,803 ÷ 2 = 29,484,401.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,484,401.5 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 | 58,968,803 | |
| -1 | -58,968,803 |
Now, we try dividing 58,968,803 by 3:
58,968,803 ÷ 3 = 19,656,267.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,656,267.6667 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 | 58,968,803 | |
| -1 | -58,968,803 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
58,968,803 ÷ 4 = 14,742,200.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,742,200.75 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 | 58,968,803 | |
| -1 | 58,968,803 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 211 | 419 | 667 | 4,853 | 6,119 | 9,637 | 12,151 | 88,409 | 140,737 | 279,473 | 2,033,407 | 2,563,861 | 58,968,803 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -211 | -419 | -667 | -4,853 | -6,119 | -9,637 | -12,151 | -88,409 | -140,737 | -279,473 | -2,033,407 | -2,563,861 | -58,968,803 |
