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 60,103,835, 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 | 60,103,835 | |
| -1 | -60,103,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,103,835.
Example:
1 x 60,103,835 = 60,103,835
and
-1 x -60,103,835 = 60,103,835
Notice both answers equal 60,103,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,103,835 and divide it by 2:
60,103,835 ÷ 2 = 30,051,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,051,917.5 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 | 60,103,835 | |
| -1 | -60,103,835 |
Now, we try dividing 60,103,835 by 3:
60,103,835 ÷ 3 = 20,034,611.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,034,611.6667 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 | 60,103,835 | |
| -1 | -60,103,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,103,835 ÷ 4 = 15,025,958.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,025,958.75 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 | 60,103,835 | |
| -1 | 60,103,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 47 | 55 | 235 | 517 | 2,585 | 23,251 | 116,255 | 255,761 | 1,092,797 | 1,278,805 | 5,463,985 | 12,020,767 | 60,103,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -47 | -55 | -235 | -517 | -2,585 | -23,251 | -116,255 | -255,761 | -1,092,797 | -1,278,805 | -5,463,985 | -12,020,767 | -60,103,835 |
