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 60,456,097, 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 | 60,456,097 | |
| -1 | -60,456,097 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,456,097.
Example:
1 x 60,456,097 = 60,456,097
and
-1 x -60,456,097 = 60,456,097
Notice both answers equal 60,456,097
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,456,097 and divide it by 2:
60,456,097 ÷ 2 = 30,228,048.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,228,048.5 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 | 60,456,097 | |
| -1 | -60,456,097 |
Now, we try dividing 60,456,097 by 3:
60,456,097 ÷ 3 = 20,152,032.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,152,032.3333 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 | 60,456,097 | |
| -1 | -60,456,097 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,456,097 ÷ 4 = 15,114,024.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,114,024.25 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 | 60,456,097 | |
| -1 | 60,456,097 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 29 | 221 | 377 | 493 | 6,409 | 9,433 | 122,629 | 160,361 | 273,557 | 2,084,693 | 3,556,241 | 4,650,469 | 60,456,097 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -29 | -221 | -377 | -493 | -6,409 | -9,433 | -122,629 | -160,361 | -273,557 | -2,084,693 | -3,556,241 | -4,650,469 | -60,456,097 |
