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 59,244,865, 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 | 59,244,865 | |
| -1 | -59,244,865 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,244,865.
Example:
1 x 59,244,865 = 59,244,865
and
-1 x -59,244,865 = 59,244,865
Notice both answers equal 59,244,865
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,244,865 and divide it by 2:
59,244,865 ÷ 2 = 29,622,432.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,622,432.5 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 | 59,244,865 | |
| -1 | -59,244,865 |
Now, we try dividing 59,244,865 by 3:
59,244,865 ÷ 3 = 19,748,288.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,748,288.3333 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 | 59,244,865 | |
| -1 | -59,244,865 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,244,865 ÷ 4 = 14,811,216.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,811,216.25 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 | 59,244,865 | |
| -1 | 59,244,865 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 127 | 395 | 635 | 1,181 | 5,905 | 10,033 | 50,165 | 93,299 | 149,987 | 466,495 | 749,935 | 11,848,973 | 59,244,865 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -127 | -395 | -635 | -1,181 | -5,905 | -10,033 | -50,165 | -93,299 | -149,987 | -466,495 | -749,935 | -11,848,973 | -59,244,865 |
