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 59,776,885, 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 | 59,776,885 | |
| -1 | -59,776,885 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,776,885.
Example:
1 x 59,776,885 = 59,776,885
and
-1 x -59,776,885 = 59,776,885
Notice both answers equal 59,776,885
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,776,885 and divide it by 2:
59,776,885 ÷ 2 = 29,888,442.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,888,442.5 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 | 59,776,885 | |
| -1 | -59,776,885 |
Now, we try dividing 59,776,885 by 3:
59,776,885 ÷ 3 = 19,925,628.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,925,628.3333 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 | 59,776,885 | |
| -1 | -59,776,885 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,776,885 ÷ 4 = 14,944,221.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,944,221.25 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 | 59,776,885 | |
| -1 | 59,776,885 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 74,257 | 371,285 | 519,799 | 1,707,911 | 2,598,995 | 8,539,555 | 11,955,377 | 59,776,885 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -74,257 | -371,285 | -519,799 | -1,707,911 | -2,598,995 | -8,539,555 | -11,955,377 | -59,776,885 |
