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 59,151,785, 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 | 59,151,785 | |
| -1 | -59,151,785 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,151,785.
Example:
1 x 59,151,785 = 59,151,785
and
-1 x -59,151,785 = 59,151,785
Notice both answers equal 59,151,785
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,151,785 and divide it by 2:
59,151,785 ÷ 2 = 29,575,892.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,575,892.5 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 | 59,151,785 | |
| -1 | -59,151,785 |
Now, we try dividing 59,151,785 by 3:
59,151,785 ÷ 3 = 19,717,261.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,717,261.6667 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 | 59,151,785 | |
| -1 | -59,151,785 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,151,785 ÷ 4 = 14,787,946.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,787,946.25 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 | 59,151,785 | |
| -1 | 59,151,785 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 153,641 | 768,205 | 1,075,487 | 1,690,051 | 5,377,435 | 8,450,255 | 11,830,357 | 59,151,785 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -153,641 | -768,205 | -1,075,487 | -1,690,051 | -5,377,435 | -8,450,255 | -11,830,357 | -59,151,785 |
