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 60,237,065, 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 | 60,237,065 | |
| -1 | -60,237,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,237,065.
Example:
1 x 60,237,065 = 60,237,065
and
-1 x -60,237,065 = 60,237,065
Notice both answers equal 60,237,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,237,065 and divide it by 2:
60,237,065 ÷ 2 = 30,118,532.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,118,532.5 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 | 60,237,065 | |
| -1 | -60,237,065 |
Now, we try dividing 60,237,065 by 3:
60,237,065 ÷ 3 = 20,079,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,079,021.6667 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 | 60,237,065 | |
| -1 | -60,237,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,237,065 ÷ 4 = 15,059,266.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,059,266.25 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 | 60,237,065 | |
| -1 | 60,237,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 337 | 1,685 | 2,359 | 5,107 | 11,795 | 25,535 | 35,749 | 178,745 | 1,721,059 | 8,605,295 | 12,047,413 | 60,237,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -337 | -1,685 | -2,359 | -5,107 | -11,795 | -25,535 | -35,749 | -178,745 | -1,721,059 | -8,605,295 | -12,047,413 | -60,237,065 |
