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 60,051,185, 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 | 60,051,185 | |
| -1 | -60,051,185 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,051,185.
Example:
1 x 60,051,185 = 60,051,185
and
-1 x -60,051,185 = 60,051,185
Notice both answers equal 60,051,185
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,051,185 and divide it by 2:
60,051,185 ÷ 2 = 30,025,592.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,025,592.5 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 | 60,051,185 | |
| -1 | -60,051,185 |
Now, we try dividing 60,051,185 by 3:
60,051,185 ÷ 3 = 20,017,061.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,017,061.6667 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 | 60,051,185 | |
| -1 | -60,051,185 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,051,185 ÷ 4 = 15,012,796.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,012,796.25 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 | 60,051,185 | |
| -1 | 60,051,185 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 31 | 37 | 155 | 185 | 283 | 1,147 | 1,369 | 1,415 | 5,735 | 6,845 | 8,773 | 10,471 | 42,439 | 43,865 | 52,355 | 212,195 | 324,601 | 387,427 | 1,623,005 | 1,937,135 | 12,010,237 | 60,051,185 |
| -1 | -5 | -31 | -37 | -155 | -185 | -283 | -1,147 | -1,369 | -1,415 | -5,735 | -6,845 | -8,773 | -10,471 | -42,439 | -43,865 | -52,355 | -212,195 | -324,601 | -387,427 | -1,623,005 | -1,937,135 | -12,010,237 | -60,051,185 |
