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 59,253,635, 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 | 59,253,635 | |
| -1 | -59,253,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,253,635.
Example:
1 x 59,253,635 = 59,253,635
and
-1 x -59,253,635 = 59,253,635
Notice both answers equal 59,253,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,253,635 and divide it by 2:
59,253,635 ÷ 2 = 29,626,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,626,817.5 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 | 59,253,635 | |
| -1 | -59,253,635 |
Now, we try dividing 59,253,635 by 3:
59,253,635 ÷ 3 = 19,751,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,751,211.6667 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 | 59,253,635 | |
| -1 | -59,253,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,253,635 ÷ 4 = 14,813,408.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,813,408.75 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 | 59,253,635 | |
| -1 | 59,253,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 73,607 | 368,035 | 515,249 | 1,692,961 | 2,576,245 | 8,464,805 | 11,850,727 | 59,253,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -73,607 | -368,035 | -515,249 | -1,692,961 | -2,576,245 | -8,464,805 | -11,850,727 | -59,253,635 |
