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 60,025,951, 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 | 60,025,951 | |
| -1 | -60,025,951 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,025,951.
Example:
1 x 60,025,951 = 60,025,951
and
-1 x -60,025,951 = 60,025,951
Notice both answers equal 60,025,951
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,025,951 and divide it by 2:
60,025,951 ÷ 2 = 30,012,975.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,012,975.5 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 | 60,025,951 | |
| -1 | -60,025,951 |
Now, we try dividing 60,025,951 by 3:
60,025,951 ÷ 3 = 20,008,650.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,008,650.3333 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 | 60,025,951 | |
| -1 | -60,025,951 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,025,951 ÷ 4 = 15,006,487.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,006,487.75 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 | 60,025,951 | |
| -1 | 60,025,951 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 37 | 59 | 887 | 1,147 | 1,829 | 2,183 | 27,497 | 32,819 | 52,333 | 67,673 | 1,017,389 | 1,622,323 | 1,936,321 | 60,025,951 |
| -1 | -31 | -37 | -59 | -887 | -1,147 | -1,829 | -2,183 | -27,497 | -32,819 | -52,333 | -67,673 | -1,017,389 | -1,622,323 | -1,936,321 | -60,025,951 |
