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 60,344,755, 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 | 60,344,755 | |
| -1 | -60,344,755 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,344,755.
Example:
1 x 60,344,755 = 60,344,755
and
-1 x -60,344,755 = 60,344,755
Notice both answers equal 60,344,755
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,344,755 and divide it by 2:
60,344,755 ÷ 2 = 30,172,377.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,172,377.5 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 | 60,344,755 | |
| -1 | -60,344,755 |
Now, we try dividing 60,344,755 by 3:
60,344,755 ÷ 3 = 20,114,918.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,114,918.3333 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 | 60,344,755 | |
| -1 | -60,344,755 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,344,755 ÷ 4 = 15,086,188.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,086,188.75 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 | 60,344,755 | |
| -1 | 60,344,755 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 31 | 115 | 155 | 713 | 3,565 | 16,927 | 84,635 | 389,321 | 524,737 | 1,946,605 | 2,623,685 | 12,068,951 | 60,344,755 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -31 | -115 | -155 | -713 | -3,565 | -16,927 | -84,635 | -389,321 | -524,737 | -1,946,605 | -2,623,685 | -12,068,951 | -60,344,755 |
