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 60,186,269, 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 | 60,186,269 | |
| -1 | -60,186,269 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,186,269.
Example:
1 x 60,186,269 = 60,186,269
and
-1 x -60,186,269 = 60,186,269
Notice both answers equal 60,186,269
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,186,269 and divide it by 2:
60,186,269 ÷ 2 = 30,093,134.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,093,134.5 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 | 60,186,269 | |
| -1 | -60,186,269 |
Now, we try dividing 60,186,269 by 3:
60,186,269 ÷ 3 = 20,062,089.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,062,089.6667 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 | 60,186,269 | |
| -1 | -60,186,269 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,186,269 ÷ 4 = 15,046,567.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,046,567.25 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 | 60,186,269 | |
| -1 | 60,186,269 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 97 | 143 | 1,067 | 1,261 | 4,339 | 13,871 | 47,729 | 56,407 | 420,883 | 620,477 | 4,629,713 | 5,471,479 | 60,186,269 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -97 | -143 | -1,067 | -1,261 | -4,339 | -13,871 | -47,729 | -56,407 | -420,883 | -620,477 | -4,629,713 | -5,471,479 | -60,186,269 |
