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 59,155,057, 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 | 59,155,057 | |
| -1 | -59,155,057 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,155,057.
Example:
1 x 59,155,057 = 59,155,057
and
-1 x -59,155,057 = 59,155,057
Notice both answers equal 59,155,057
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,155,057 and divide it by 2:
59,155,057 ÷ 2 = 29,577,528.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,577,528.5 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 | 59,155,057 | |
| -1 | -59,155,057 |
Now, we try dividing 59,155,057 by 3:
59,155,057 ÷ 3 = 19,718,352.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,718,352.3333 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 | 59,155,057 | |
| -1 | -59,155,057 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,155,057 ÷ 4 = 14,788,764.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,788,764.25 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 | 59,155,057 | |
| -1 | 59,155,057 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 43 | 107 | 299 | 559 | 989 | 1,391 | 1,849 | 2,461 | 4,601 | 12,857 | 24,037 | 31,993 | 42,527 | 59,813 | 105,823 | 197,843 | 552,851 | 1,375,699 | 2,571,959 | 4,550,389 | 59,155,057 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -43 | -107 | -299 | -559 | -989 | -1,391 | -1,849 | -2,461 | -4,601 | -12,857 | -24,037 | -31,993 | -42,527 | -59,813 | -105,823 | -197,843 | -552,851 | -1,375,699 | -2,571,959 | -4,550,389 | -59,155,057 |
