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 60,523,625, 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 | 60,523,625 | |
| -1 | -60,523,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,523,625.
Example:
1 x 60,523,625 = 60,523,625
and
-1 x -60,523,625 = 60,523,625
Notice both answers equal 60,523,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,523,625 and divide it by 2:
60,523,625 ÷ 2 = 30,261,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,261,812.5 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 | 60,523,625 | |
| -1 | -60,523,625 |
Now, we try dividing 60,523,625 by 3:
60,523,625 ÷ 3 = 20,174,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,174,541.6667 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 | 60,523,625 | |
| -1 | -60,523,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,523,625 ÷ 4 = 15,130,906.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,130,906.25 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 | 60,523,625 | |
| -1 | 60,523,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 31 | 125 | 155 | 775 | 3,875 | 15,619 | 78,095 | 390,475 | 484,189 | 1,952,375 | 2,420,945 | 12,104,725 | 60,523,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -31 | -125 | -155 | -775 | -3,875 | -15,619 | -78,095 | -390,475 | -484,189 | -1,952,375 | -2,420,945 | -12,104,725 | -60,523,625 |
