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 59,617,805, 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 | 59,617,805 | |
| -1 | -59,617,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,617,805.
Example:
1 x 59,617,805 = 59,617,805
and
-1 x -59,617,805 = 59,617,805
Notice both answers equal 59,617,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,617,805 and divide it by 2:
59,617,805 ÷ 2 = 29,808,902.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,808,902.5 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 | 59,617,805 | |
| -1 | -59,617,805 |
Now, we try dividing 59,617,805 by 3:
59,617,805 ÷ 3 = 19,872,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,872,601.6667 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 | 59,617,805 | |
| -1 | -59,617,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,617,805 ÷ 4 = 14,904,451.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,904,451.25 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 | 59,617,805 | |
| -1 | 59,617,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 2,015 | 29,587 | 147,935 | 384,631 | 917,197 | 1,923,155 | 4,585,985 | 11,923,561 | 59,617,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -2,015 | -29,587 | -147,935 | -384,631 | -917,197 | -1,923,155 | -4,585,985 | -11,923,561 | -59,617,805 |
