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 60,311,335, 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 | 60,311,335 | |
| -1 | -60,311,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,311,335.
Example:
1 x 60,311,335 = 60,311,335
and
-1 x -60,311,335 = 60,311,335
Notice both answers equal 60,311,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,311,335 and divide it by 2:
60,311,335 ÷ 2 = 30,155,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,155,667.5 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 | 60,311,335 | |
| -1 | -60,311,335 |
Now, we try dividing 60,311,335 by 3:
60,311,335 ÷ 3 = 20,103,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,103,778.3333 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 | 60,311,335 | |
| -1 | -60,311,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,311,335 ÷ 4 = 15,077,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,077,833.75 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 | 60,311,335 | |
| -1 | 60,311,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 109 | 545 | 763 | 3,815 | 15,809 | 79,045 | 110,663 | 553,315 | 1,723,181 | 8,615,905 | 12,062,267 | 60,311,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -109 | -545 | -763 | -3,815 | -15,809 | -79,045 | -110,663 | -553,315 | -1,723,181 | -8,615,905 | -12,062,267 | -60,311,335 |
