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 59,031,089, 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 | 59,031,089 | |
| -1 | -59,031,089 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,031,089.
Example:
1 x 59,031,089 = 59,031,089
and
-1 x -59,031,089 = 59,031,089
Notice both answers equal 59,031,089
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,031,089 and divide it by 2:
59,031,089 ÷ 2 = 29,515,544.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,515,544.5 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 | 59,031,089 | |
| -1 | -59,031,089 |
Now, we try dividing 59,031,089 by 3:
59,031,089 ÷ 3 = 19,677,029.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,677,029.6667 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 | 59,031,089 | |
| -1 | -59,031,089 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,031,089 ÷ 4 = 14,757,772.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,757,772.25 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 | 59,031,089 | |
| -1 | 59,031,089 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 131 | 221 | 1,703 | 2,039 | 2,227 | 26,507 | 28,951 | 34,663 | 267,109 | 450,619 | 3,472,417 | 4,540,853 | 59,031,089 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -131 | -221 | -1,703 | -2,039 | -2,227 | -26,507 | -28,951 | -34,663 | -267,109 | -450,619 | -3,472,417 | -4,540,853 | -59,031,089 |
