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 60,636,163, 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 | 60,636,163 | |
| -1 | -60,636,163 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,636,163.
Example:
1 x 60,636,163 = 60,636,163
and
-1 x -60,636,163 = 60,636,163
Notice both answers equal 60,636,163
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,636,163 and divide it by 2:
60,636,163 ÷ 2 = 30,318,081.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,318,081.5 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 | 60,636,163 | |
| -1 | -60,636,163 |
Now, we try dividing 60,636,163 by 3:
60,636,163 ÷ 3 = 20,212,054.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,212,054.3333 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 | 60,636,163 | |
| -1 | -60,636,163 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,636,163 ÷ 4 = 15,159,040.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,159,040.75 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 | 60,636,163 | |
| -1 | 60,636,163 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 163 | 1,141 | 2,797 | 3,097 | 19,579 | 21,679 | 53,143 | 372,001 | 455,911 | 3,191,377 | 8,662,309 | 60,636,163 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -163 | -1,141 | -2,797 | -3,097 | -19,579 | -21,679 | -53,143 | -372,001 | -455,911 | -3,191,377 | -8,662,309 | -60,636,163 |
