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 59,531,113, 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 | 59,531,113 | |
| -1 | -59,531,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,531,113.
Example:
1 x 59,531,113 = 59,531,113
and
-1 x -59,531,113 = 59,531,113
Notice both answers equal 59,531,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,531,113 and divide it by 2:
59,531,113 ÷ 2 = 29,765,556.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,765,556.5 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 | 59,531,113 | |
| -1 | -59,531,113 |
Now, we try dividing 59,531,113 by 3:
59,531,113 ÷ 3 = 19,843,704.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,843,704.3333 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 | 59,531,113 | |
| -1 | -59,531,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,531,113 ÷ 4 = 14,882,778.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,882,778.25 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 | 59,531,113 | |
| -1 | 59,531,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 37 | 109 | 509 | 1,073 | 3,161 | 4,033 | 14,761 | 18,833 | 55,481 | 116,957 | 546,157 | 1,608,949 | 2,052,797 | 59,531,113 |
| -1 | -29 | -37 | -109 | -509 | -1,073 | -3,161 | -4,033 | -14,761 | -18,833 | -55,481 | -116,957 | -546,157 | -1,608,949 | -2,052,797 | -59,531,113 |
