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 59,834,735, 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 | 59,834,735 | |
| -1 | -59,834,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,834,735.
Example:
1 x 59,834,735 = 59,834,735
and
-1 x -59,834,735 = 59,834,735
Notice both answers equal 59,834,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,834,735 and divide it by 2:
59,834,735 ÷ 2 = 29,917,367.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,917,367.5 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 | 59,834,735 | |
| -1 | -59,834,735 |
Now, we try dividing 59,834,735 by 3:
59,834,735 ÷ 3 = 19,944,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,944,911.6667 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 | 59,834,735 | |
| -1 | -59,834,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,834,735 ÷ 4 = 14,958,683.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,958,683.75 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 | 59,834,735 | |
| -1 | 59,834,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 281 | 1,151 | 1,405 | 5,755 | 10,397 | 42,587 | 51,985 | 212,935 | 323,431 | 1,617,155 | 11,966,947 | 59,834,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -281 | -1,151 | -1,405 | -5,755 | -10,397 | -42,587 | -51,985 | -212,935 | -323,431 | -1,617,155 | -11,966,947 | -59,834,735 |
