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 60,604,115, 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 | 60,604,115 | |
| -1 | -60,604,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,604,115.
Example:
1 x 60,604,115 = 60,604,115
and
-1 x -60,604,115 = 60,604,115
Notice both answers equal 60,604,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,604,115 and divide it by 2:
60,604,115 ÷ 2 = 30,302,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,302,057.5 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 | 60,604,115 | |
| -1 | -60,604,115 |
Now, we try dividing 60,604,115 by 3:
60,604,115 ÷ 3 = 20,201,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,201,371.6667 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 | 60,604,115 | |
| -1 | -60,604,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,604,115 ÷ 4 = 15,151,028.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,151,028.75 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 | 60,604,115 | |
| -1 | 60,604,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 84,761 | 423,805 | 932,371 | 1,101,893 | 4,661,855 | 5,509,465 | 12,120,823 | 60,604,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -84,761 | -423,805 | -932,371 | -1,101,893 | -4,661,855 | -5,509,465 | -12,120,823 | -60,604,115 |
