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 60,051,101, 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 | 60,051,101 | |
| -1 | -60,051,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,051,101.
Example:
1 x 60,051,101 = 60,051,101
and
-1 x -60,051,101 = 60,051,101
Notice both answers equal 60,051,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,051,101 and divide it by 2:
60,051,101 ÷ 2 = 30,025,550.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,025,550.5 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 | 60,051,101 | |
| -1 | -60,051,101 |
Now, we try dividing 60,051,101 by 3:
60,051,101 ÷ 3 = 20,017,033.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,017,033.6667 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 | 60,051,101 | |
| -1 | -60,051,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,051,101 ÷ 4 = 15,012,775.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,012,775.25 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 | 60,051,101 | |
| -1 | 60,051,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 47 | 451 | 517 | 1,927 | 2,833 | 21,197 | 31,163 | 116,153 | 133,151 | 1,277,683 | 1,464,661 | 5,459,191 | 60,051,101 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -47 | -451 | -517 | -1,927 | -2,833 | -21,197 | -31,163 | -116,153 | -133,151 | -1,277,683 | -1,464,661 | -5,459,191 | -60,051,101 |
