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 59,034,881, 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 | 59,034,881 | |
| -1 | -59,034,881 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,034,881.
Example:
1 x 59,034,881 = 59,034,881
and
-1 x -59,034,881 = 59,034,881
Notice both answers equal 59,034,881
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,034,881 and divide it by 2:
59,034,881 ÷ 2 = 29,517,440.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,517,440.5 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 | 59,034,881 | |
| -1 | -59,034,881 |
Now, we try dividing 59,034,881 by 3:
59,034,881 ÷ 3 = 19,678,293.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,678,293.6667 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 | 59,034,881 | |
| -1 | -59,034,881 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,034,881 ÷ 4 = 14,758,720.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,758,720.25 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 | 59,034,881 | |
| -1 | 59,034,881 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 73 | 589 | 1,373 | 1,387 | 2,263 | 26,087 | 42,563 | 42,997 | 100,229 | 808,697 | 1,904,351 | 3,107,099 | 59,034,881 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -73 | -589 | -1,373 | -1,387 | -2,263 | -26,087 | -42,563 | -42,997 | -100,229 | -808,697 | -1,904,351 | -3,107,099 | -59,034,881 |
