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 60,523,505, 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 | 60,523,505 | |
| -1 | -60,523,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,523,505.
Example:
1 x 60,523,505 = 60,523,505
and
-1 x -60,523,505 = 60,523,505
Notice both answers equal 60,523,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,523,505 and divide it by 2:
60,523,505 ÷ 2 = 30,261,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,261,752.5 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 | 60,523,505 | |
| -1 | -60,523,505 |
Now, we try dividing 60,523,505 by 3:
60,523,505 ÷ 3 = 20,174,501.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,174,501.6667 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 | 60,523,505 | |
| -1 | -60,523,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,523,505 ÷ 4 = 15,130,876.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,130,876.25 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 | 60,523,505 | |
| -1 | 60,523,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 1,019 | 1,697 | 5,095 | 7,133 | 8,485 | 11,879 | 35,665 | 59,395 | 1,729,243 | 8,646,215 | 12,104,701 | 60,523,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -1,019 | -1,697 | -5,095 | -7,133 | -8,485 | -11,879 | -35,665 | -59,395 | -1,729,243 | -8,646,215 | -12,104,701 | -60,523,505 |
