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 60,543,625, 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 | 60,543,625 | |
| -1 | -60,543,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,543,625.
Example:
1 x 60,543,625 = 60,543,625
and
-1 x -60,543,625 = 60,543,625
Notice both answers equal 60,543,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,543,625 and divide it by 2:
60,543,625 ÷ 2 = 30,271,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,271,812.5 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 | 60,543,625 | |
| -1 | -60,543,625 |
Now, we try dividing 60,543,625 by 3:
60,543,625 ÷ 3 = 20,181,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,181,208.3333 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 | 60,543,625 | |
| -1 | -60,543,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,543,625 ÷ 4 = 15,135,906.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,135,906.25 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 | 60,543,625 | |
| -1 | 60,543,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 79 | 125 | 395 | 1,975 | 6,131 | 9,875 | 30,655 | 153,275 | 484,349 | 766,375 | 2,421,745 | 12,108,725 | 60,543,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -79 | -125 | -395 | -1,975 | -6,131 | -9,875 | -30,655 | -153,275 | -484,349 | -766,375 | -2,421,745 | -12,108,725 | -60,543,625 |
