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 60,070,021, 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 | 60,070,021 | |
| -1 | -60,070,021 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,070,021.
Example:
1 x 60,070,021 = 60,070,021
and
-1 x -60,070,021 = 60,070,021
Notice both answers equal 60,070,021
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,070,021 and divide it by 2:
60,070,021 ÷ 2 = 30,035,010.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,035,010.5 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 | 60,070,021 | |
| -1 | -60,070,021 |
Now, we try dividing 60,070,021 by 3:
60,070,021 ÷ 3 = 20,023,340.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,023,340.3333 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 | 60,070,021 | |
| -1 | -60,070,021 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,070,021 ÷ 4 = 15,017,505.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,017,505.25 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 | 60,070,021 | |
| -1 | 60,070,021 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 73 | 239 | 313 | 803 | 2,629 | 3,443 | 17,447 | 22,849 | 74,807 | 191,917 | 251,339 | 822,877 | 5,460,911 | 60,070,021 |
| -1 | -11 | -73 | -239 | -313 | -803 | -2,629 | -3,443 | -17,447 | -22,849 | -74,807 | -191,917 | -251,339 | -822,877 | -5,460,911 | -60,070,021 |
