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 59,964,437, 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 | 59,964,437 | |
| -1 | -59,964,437 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 59,964,437.
Example:
1 x 59,964,437 = 59,964,437
and
-1 x -59,964,437 = 59,964,437
Notice both answers equal 59,964,437
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 59,964,437 and divide it by 2:
59,964,437 ÷ 2 = 29,982,218.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 29,982,218.5 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 | 59,964,437 | |
| -1 | -59,964,437 |
Now, we try dividing 59,964,437 by 3:
59,964,437 ÷ 3 = 19,988,145.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,988,145.6667 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 | 59,964,437 | |
| -1 | -59,964,437 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
59,964,437 ÷ 4 = 14,991,109.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,991,109.25 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 | 59,964,437 | |
| -1 | 59,964,437 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 103 | 247 | 1,339 | 1,957 | 2,357 | 25,441 | 30,641 | 44,783 | 242,771 | 582,179 | 3,156,023 | 4,612,649 | 59,964,437 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -103 | -247 | -1,339 | -1,957 | -2,357 | -25,441 | -30,641 | -44,783 | -242,771 | -582,179 | -3,156,023 | -4,612,649 | -59,964,437 |
