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 60,544,349, 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 | 60,544,349 | |
| -1 | -60,544,349 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,544,349.
Example:
1 x 60,544,349 = 60,544,349
and
-1 x -60,544,349 = 60,544,349
Notice both answers equal 60,544,349
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,544,349 and divide it by 2:
60,544,349 ÷ 2 = 30,272,174.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,272,174.5 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 | 60,544,349 | |
| -1 | -60,544,349 |
Now, we try dividing 60,544,349 by 3:
60,544,349 ÷ 3 = 20,181,449.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,181,449.6667 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 | 60,544,349 | |
| -1 | -60,544,349 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,544,349 ÷ 4 = 15,136,087.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,136,087.25 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 | 60,544,349 | |
| -1 | 60,544,349 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 67 | 101 | 389 | 1,541 | 2,323 | 6,767 | 8,947 | 26,063 | 39,289 | 155,641 | 599,449 | 903,647 | 2,632,363 | 60,544,349 |
| -1 | -23 | -67 | -101 | -389 | -1,541 | -2,323 | -6,767 | -8,947 | -26,063 | -39,289 | -155,641 | -599,449 | -903,647 | -2,632,363 | -60,544,349 |
