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 60,076,181, 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 | 60,076,181 | |
| -1 | -60,076,181 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,076,181.
Example:
1 x 60,076,181 = 60,076,181
and
-1 x -60,076,181 = 60,076,181
Notice both answers equal 60,076,181
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,076,181 and divide it by 2:
60,076,181 ÷ 2 = 30,038,090.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,038,090.5 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 | 60,076,181 | |
| -1 | -60,076,181 |
Now, we try dividing 60,076,181 by 3:
60,076,181 ÷ 3 = 20,025,393.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,025,393.6667 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 | 60,076,181 | |
| -1 | -60,076,181 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,076,181 ÷ 4 = 15,019,045.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,019,045.25 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 | 60,076,181 | |
| -1 | 60,076,181 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 187 | 311 | 1,033 | 3,421 | 5,287 | 11,363 | 17,561 | 58,157 | 193,171 | 321,263 | 3,533,893 | 5,461,471 | 60,076,181 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -187 | -311 | -1,033 | -3,421 | -5,287 | -11,363 | -17,561 | -58,157 | -193,171 | -321,263 | -3,533,893 | -5,461,471 | -60,076,181 |
