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 59,034,875, 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 | 59,034,875 | |
| -1 | -59,034,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,034,875.
Example:
1 x 59,034,875 = 59,034,875
and
-1 x -59,034,875 = 59,034,875
Notice both answers equal 59,034,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,034,875 and divide it by 2:
59,034,875 ÷ 2 = 29,517,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,517,437.5 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 | 59,034,875 | |
| -1 | -59,034,875 |
Now, we try dividing 59,034,875 by 3:
59,034,875 ÷ 3 = 19,678,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,678,291.6667 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 | 59,034,875 | |
| -1 | -59,034,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,034,875 ÷ 4 = 14,758,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,758,718.75 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 | 59,034,875 | |
| -1 | 59,034,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 41 | 125 | 205 | 1,025 | 5,125 | 11,519 | 57,595 | 287,975 | 472,279 | 1,439,875 | 2,361,395 | 11,806,975 | 59,034,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -41 | -125 | -205 | -1,025 | -5,125 | -11,519 | -57,595 | -287,975 | -472,279 | -1,439,875 | -2,361,395 | -11,806,975 | -59,034,875 |
