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 60,056,665, 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 | 60,056,665 | |
| -1 | -60,056,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,056,665.
Example:
1 x 60,056,665 = 60,056,665
and
-1 x -60,056,665 = 60,056,665
Notice both answers equal 60,056,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,056,665 and divide it by 2:
60,056,665 ÷ 2 = 30,028,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,028,332.5 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 | 60,056,665 | |
| -1 | -60,056,665 |
Now, we try dividing 60,056,665 by 3:
60,056,665 ÷ 3 = 20,018,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,018,888.3333 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 | 60,056,665 | |
| -1 | -60,056,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,056,665 ÷ 4 = 15,014,166.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,014,166.25 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 | 60,056,665 | |
| -1 | 60,056,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 491 | 1,439 | 2,455 | 7,195 | 8,347 | 24,463 | 41,735 | 122,315 | 706,549 | 3,532,745 | 12,011,333 | 60,056,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -491 | -1,439 | -2,455 | -7,195 | -8,347 | -24,463 | -41,735 | -122,315 | -706,549 | -3,532,745 | -12,011,333 | -60,056,665 |
