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 59,035,613, 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 | 59,035,613 | |
| -1 | -59,035,613 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,035,613.
Example:
1 x 59,035,613 = 59,035,613
and
-1 x -59,035,613 = 59,035,613
Notice both answers equal 59,035,613
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,035,613 and divide it by 2:
59,035,613 ÷ 2 = 29,517,806.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,517,806.5 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 | 59,035,613 | |
| -1 | -59,035,613 |
Now, we try dividing 59,035,613 by 3:
59,035,613 ÷ 3 = 19,678,537.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,678,537.6667 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 | 59,035,613 | |
| -1 | -59,035,613 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,035,613 ÷ 4 = 14,758,903.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,758,903.25 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 | 59,035,613 | |
| -1 | 59,035,613 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 3,731 | 15,823 | 110,761 | 205,699 | 648,743 | 1,439,893 | 4,541,201 | 8,433,659 | 59,035,613 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -3,731 | -15,823 | -110,761 | -205,699 | -648,743 | -1,439,893 | -4,541,201 | -8,433,659 | -59,035,613 |
