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 59,618,485, 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 | 59,618,485 | |
| -1 | -59,618,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,618,485.
Example:
1 x 59,618,485 = 59,618,485
and
-1 x -59,618,485 = 59,618,485
Notice both answers equal 59,618,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,618,485 and divide it by 2:
59,618,485 ÷ 2 = 29,809,242.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,809,242.5 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 | 59,618,485 | |
| -1 | -59,618,485 |
Now, we try dividing 59,618,485 by 3:
59,618,485 ÷ 3 = 19,872,828.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,872,828.3333 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 | 59,618,485 | |
| -1 | -59,618,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,618,485 ÷ 4 = 14,904,621.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,904,621.25 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 | 59,618,485 | |
| -1 | 59,618,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 83 | 95 | 415 | 1,577 | 7,561 | 7,885 | 37,805 | 143,659 | 627,563 | 718,295 | 3,137,815 | 11,923,697 | 59,618,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -83 | -95 | -415 | -1,577 | -7,561 | -7,885 | -37,805 | -143,659 | -627,563 | -718,295 | -3,137,815 | -11,923,697 | -59,618,485 |
