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 60,566,509, 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 | 60,566,509 | |
| -1 | -60,566,509 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,566,509.
Example:
1 x 60,566,509 = 60,566,509
and
-1 x -60,566,509 = 60,566,509
Notice both answers equal 60,566,509
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,566,509 and divide it by 2:
60,566,509 ÷ 2 = 30,283,254.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,283,254.5 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 | 60,566,509 | |
| -1 | -60,566,509 |
Now, we try dividing 60,566,509 by 3:
60,566,509 ÷ 3 = 20,188,836.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,188,836.3333 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 | 60,566,509 | |
| -1 | -60,566,509 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,566,509 ÷ 4 = 15,141,627.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,141,627.25 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 | 60,566,509 | |
| -1 | 60,566,509 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 59 | 97 | 557 | 1,121 | 1,843 | 5,723 | 10,583 | 32,863 | 54,029 | 108,737 | 624,397 | 1,026,551 | 3,187,711 | 60,566,509 |
| -1 | -19 | -59 | -97 | -557 | -1,121 | -1,843 | -5,723 | -10,583 | -32,863 | -54,029 | -108,737 | -624,397 | -1,026,551 | -3,187,711 | -60,566,509 |
