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 60,506,561, 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 | 60,506,561 | |
| -1 | -60,506,561 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,506,561.
Example:
1 x 60,506,561 = 60,506,561
and
-1 x -60,506,561 = 60,506,561
Notice both answers equal 60,506,561
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,506,561 and divide it by 2:
60,506,561 ÷ 2 = 30,253,280.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,253,280.5 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 | 60,506,561 | |
| -1 | -60,506,561 |
Now, we try dividing 60,506,561 by 3:
60,506,561 ÷ 3 = 20,168,853.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,168,853.6667 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 | 60,506,561 | |
| -1 | -60,506,561 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,506,561 ÷ 4 = 15,126,640.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,126,640.25 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 | 60,506,561 | |
| -1 | 60,506,561 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 67 | 73 | 89 | 139 | 4,891 | 5,963 | 6,497 | 9,313 | 10,147 | 12,371 | 435,299 | 679,849 | 828,857 | 903,083 | 60,506,561 |
| -1 | -67 | -73 | -89 | -139 | -4,891 | -5,963 | -6,497 | -9,313 | -10,147 | -12,371 | -435,299 | -679,849 | -828,857 | -903,083 | -60,506,561 |
