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 60,207,523, 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 | 60,207,523 | |
| -1 | -60,207,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,207,523.
Example:
1 x 60,207,523 = 60,207,523
and
-1 x -60,207,523 = 60,207,523
Notice both answers equal 60,207,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,207,523 and divide it by 2:
60,207,523 ÷ 2 = 30,103,761.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,103,761.5 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 | 60,207,523 | |
| -1 | -60,207,523 |
Now, we try dividing 60,207,523 by 3:
60,207,523 ÷ 3 = 20,069,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,069,174.3333 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 | 60,207,523 | |
| -1 | -60,207,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,207,523 ÷ 4 = 15,051,880.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,051,880.75 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 | 60,207,523 | |
| -1 | 60,207,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 53 | 323 | 901 | 1,007 | 3,517 | 17,119 | 59,789 | 66,823 | 186,401 | 1,135,991 | 3,168,817 | 3,541,619 | 60,207,523 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -53 | -323 | -901 | -1,007 | -3,517 | -17,119 | -59,789 | -66,823 | -186,401 | -1,135,991 | -3,168,817 | -3,541,619 | -60,207,523 |
