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 60,551,051, 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 | 60,551,051 | |
| -1 | -60,551,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,551,051.
Example:
1 x 60,551,051 = 60,551,051
and
-1 x -60,551,051 = 60,551,051
Notice both answers equal 60,551,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,551,051 and divide it by 2:
60,551,051 ÷ 2 = 30,275,525.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,275,525.5 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 | 60,551,051 | |
| -1 | -60,551,051 |
Now, we try dividing 60,551,051 by 3:
60,551,051 ÷ 3 = 20,183,683.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,183,683.6667 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 | 60,551,051 | |
| -1 | -60,551,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,551,051 ÷ 4 = 15,137,762.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,137,762.75 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 | 60,551,051 | |
| -1 | 60,551,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 59 | 79 | 649 | 869 | 1,181 | 4,661 | 12,991 | 51,271 | 69,679 | 93,299 | 766,469 | 1,026,289 | 5,504,641 | 60,551,051 |
| -1 | -11 | -59 | -79 | -649 | -869 | -1,181 | -4,661 | -12,991 | -51,271 | -69,679 | -93,299 | -766,469 | -1,026,289 | -5,504,641 | -60,551,051 |
