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 59,546,665, 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 | 59,546,665 | |
| -1 | -59,546,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,546,665.
Example:
1 x 59,546,665 = 59,546,665
and
-1 x -59,546,665 = 59,546,665
Notice both answers equal 59,546,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,546,665 and divide it by 2:
59,546,665 ÷ 2 = 29,773,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,773,332.5 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 | 59,546,665 | |
| -1 | -59,546,665 |
Now, we try dividing 59,546,665 by 3:
59,546,665 ÷ 3 = 19,848,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,848,888.3333 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 | 59,546,665 | |
| -1 | -59,546,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,546,665 ÷ 4 = 14,886,666.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,886,666.25 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 | 59,546,665 | |
| -1 | 59,546,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 19 | 85 | 95 | 323 | 1,615 | 36,871 | 184,355 | 626,807 | 700,549 | 3,134,035 | 3,502,745 | 11,909,333 | 59,546,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -19 | -85 | -95 | -323 | -1,615 | -36,871 | -184,355 | -626,807 | -700,549 | -3,134,035 | -3,502,745 | -11,909,333 | -59,546,665 |
