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 60,061,547, 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 | 60,061,547 | |
| -1 | -60,061,547 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,061,547.
Example:
1 x 60,061,547 = 60,061,547
and
-1 x -60,061,547 = 60,061,547
Notice both answers equal 60,061,547
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,061,547 and divide it by 2:
60,061,547 ÷ 2 = 30,030,773.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,030,773.5 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 | 60,061,547 | |
| -1 | -60,061,547 |
Now, we try dividing 60,061,547 by 3:
60,061,547 ÷ 3 = 20,020,515.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,020,515.6667 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 | 60,061,547 | |
| -1 | -60,061,547 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,061,547 ÷ 4 = 15,015,386.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,015,386.75 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 | 60,061,547 | |
| -1 | 60,061,547 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 67 | 91 | 469 | 871 | 6,097 | 9,851 | 68,957 | 128,063 | 660,017 | 896,441 | 4,620,119 | 8,580,221 | 60,061,547 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -67 | -91 | -469 | -871 | -6,097 | -9,851 | -68,957 | -128,063 | -660,017 | -896,441 | -4,620,119 | -8,580,221 | -60,061,547 |
