How do I find the factor combinations of the number 59,625,013?

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 59,625,013, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 59,625,013
-1 -59,625,013

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,625,013.

Example:
1 x 59,625,013 = 59,625,013
and
-1 x -59,625,013 = 59,625,013
Notice both answers equal 59,625,013

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,625,013 and divide it by 2:

59,625,013 ÷ 2 = 29,812,506.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,812,506.5 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 59,625,013
-1 -59,625,013

Now, we try dividing 59,625,013 by 3:

59,625,013 ÷ 3 = 19,875,004.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,875,004.3333 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 59,625,013
-1 -59,625,013

Let's try dividing by 4:

59,625,013 ÷ 4 = 14,906,253.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,906,253.25 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 59,625,013
-1 59,625,013
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

174973792115115531,4773,5773,8715,76710,33915,40316,66940,369107,821116,683282,583754,747816,7811,216,8378,517,85959,625,013
