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 60,111,005, 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 | 60,111,005 | |
| -1 | -60,111,005 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,111,005.
Example:
1 x 60,111,005 = 60,111,005
and
-1 x -60,111,005 = 60,111,005
Notice both answers equal 60,111,005
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,111,005 and divide it by 2:
60,111,005 ÷ 2 = 30,055,502.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,055,502.5 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 | 60,111,005 | |
| -1 | -60,111,005 |
Now, we try dividing 60,111,005 by 3:
60,111,005 ÷ 3 = 20,037,001.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,037,001.6667 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 | 60,111,005 | |
| -1 | -60,111,005 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,111,005 ÷ 4 = 15,027,751.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,027,751.25 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 | 60,111,005 | |
| -1 | 60,111,005 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 127 | 181 | 523 | 635 | 905 | 2,615 | 22,987 | 66,421 | 94,663 | 114,935 | 332,105 | 473,315 | 12,022,201 | 60,111,005 |
| -1 | -5 | -127 | -181 | -523 | -635 | -905 | -2,615 | -22,987 | -66,421 | -94,663 | -114,935 | -332,105 | -473,315 | -12,022,201 | -60,111,005 |
