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 59,672,753, 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 | 59,672,753 | |
| -1 | -59,672,753 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,672,753.
Example:
1 x 59,672,753 = 59,672,753
and
-1 x -59,672,753 = 59,672,753
Notice both answers equal 59,672,753
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,672,753 and divide it by 2:
59,672,753 ÷ 2 = 29,836,376.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,836,376.5 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 | 59,672,753 | |
| -1 | -59,672,753 |
Now, we try dividing 59,672,753 by 3:
59,672,753 ÷ 3 = 19,890,917.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,890,917.6667 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 | 59,672,753 | |
| -1 | -59,672,753 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,672,753 ÷ 4 = 14,918,188.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,918,188.25 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 | 59,672,753 | |
| -1 | 59,672,753 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 53 | 287 | 371 | 2,173 | 3,923 | 15,211 | 27,461 | 160,843 | 207,919 | 1,125,901 | 1,455,433 | 8,524,679 | 59,672,753 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -53 | -287 | -371 | -2,173 | -3,923 | -15,211 | -27,461 | -160,843 | -207,919 | -1,125,901 | -1,455,433 | -8,524,679 | -59,672,753 |
