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 60,128,233, 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 | 60,128,233 | |
| -1 | -60,128,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,128,233.
Example:
1 x 60,128,233 = 60,128,233
and
-1 x -60,128,233 = 60,128,233
Notice both answers equal 60,128,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,128,233 and divide it by 2:
60,128,233 ÷ 2 = 30,064,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,064,116.5 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 | 60,128,233 | |
| -1 | -60,128,233 |
Now, we try dividing 60,128,233 by 3:
60,128,233 ÷ 3 = 20,042,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,042,744.3333 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 | 60,128,233 | |
| -1 | -60,128,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,128,233 ÷ 4 = 15,032,058.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,032,058.25 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 | 60,128,233 | |
| -1 | 60,128,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 43 | 253 | 473 | 989 | 5,527 | 10,879 | 60,797 | 127,121 | 237,661 | 1,398,331 | 2,614,271 | 5,466,203 | 60,128,233 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -43 | -253 | -473 | -989 | -5,527 | -10,879 | -60,797 | -127,121 | -237,661 | -1,398,331 | -2,614,271 | -5,466,203 | -60,128,233 |
