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 60,065,663, 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 | 60,065,663 | |
| -1 | -60,065,663 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,065,663.
Example:
1 x 60,065,663 = 60,065,663
and
-1 x -60,065,663 = 60,065,663
Notice both answers equal 60,065,663
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,065,663 and divide it by 2:
60,065,663 ÷ 2 = 30,032,831.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,032,831.5 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 | 60,065,663 | |
| -1 | -60,065,663 |
Now, we try dividing 60,065,663 by 3:
60,065,663 ÷ 3 = 20,021,887.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,021,887.6667 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 | 60,065,663 | |
| -1 | -60,065,663 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,065,663 ÷ 4 = 15,016,415.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,016,415.75 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 | 60,065,663 | |
| -1 | 60,065,663 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 61 | 163 | 427 | 863 | 1,141 | 6,041 | 9,943 | 52,643 | 69,601 | 140,669 | 368,501 | 984,683 | 8,580,809 | 60,065,663 |
| -1 | -7 | -61 | -163 | -427 | -863 | -1,141 | -6,041 | -9,943 | -52,643 | -69,601 | -140,669 | -368,501 | -984,683 | -8,580,809 | -60,065,663 |
