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 59,665,661, 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 | 59,665,661 | |
| -1 | -59,665,661 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,665,661.
Example:
1 x 59,665,661 = 59,665,661
and
-1 x -59,665,661 = 59,665,661
Notice both answers equal 59,665,661
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,665,661 and divide it by 2:
59,665,661 ÷ 2 = 29,832,830.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,832,830.5 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 | 59,665,661 | |
| -1 | -59,665,661 |
Now, we try dividing 59,665,661 by 3:
59,665,661 ÷ 3 = 19,888,553.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,888,553.6667 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 | 59,665,661 | |
| -1 | -59,665,661 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,665,661 ÷ 4 = 14,916,415.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,916,415.25 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 | 59,665,661 | |
| -1 | 59,665,661 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 107 | 163 | 311 | 1,177 | 1,793 | 3,421 | 17,441 | 33,277 | 50,693 | 191,851 | 366,047 | 557,623 | 5,424,151 | 59,665,661 |
| -1 | -11 | -107 | -163 | -311 | -1,177 | -1,793 | -3,421 | -17,441 | -33,277 | -50,693 | -191,851 | -366,047 | -557,623 | -5,424,151 | -59,665,661 |
