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 60,543,617, 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 | 60,543,617 | |
| -1 | -60,543,617 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,543,617.
Example:
1 x 60,543,617 = 60,543,617
and
-1 x -60,543,617 = 60,543,617
Notice both answers equal 60,543,617
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,543,617 and divide it by 2:
60,543,617 ÷ 2 = 30,271,808.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,271,808.5 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 | 60,543,617 | |
| -1 | -60,543,617 |
Now, we try dividing 60,543,617 by 3:
60,543,617 ÷ 3 = 20,181,205.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,181,205.6667 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 | 60,543,617 | |
| -1 | -60,543,617 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,543,617 ÷ 4 = 15,135,904.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,135,904.25 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 | 60,543,617 | |
| -1 | 60,543,617 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 59 | 71 | 97 | 149 | 4,189 | 5,723 | 6,887 | 8,791 | 10,579 | 14,453 | 406,333 | 624,161 | 852,727 | 1,026,163 | 60,543,617 |
| -1 | -59 | -71 | -97 | -149 | -4,189 | -5,723 | -6,887 | -8,791 | -10,579 | -14,453 | -406,333 | -624,161 | -852,727 | -1,026,163 | -60,543,617 |
