How do I find the factor combinations of the number 60,760,525?

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 60,760,525, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 60,760,525
-1 -60,760,525

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,760,525.

Example:
1 x 60,760,525 = 60,760,525
and
-1 x -60,760,525 = 60,760,525
Notice both answers equal 60,760,525

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,760,525 and divide it by 2:

60,760,525 ÷ 2 = 30,380,262.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,380,262.5 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 60,760,525
-1 -60,760,525

Now, we try dividing 60,760,525 by 3:

60,760,525 ÷ 3 = 20,253,508.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,253,508.3333 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 60,760,525
-1 -60,760,525

Let's try dividing by 4:

60,760,525 ÷ 4 = 15,190,131.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,190,131.25 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 60,760,525
-1 60,760,525
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1572535531752653711,3251,8556,5519,27532,75545,857163,775229,285347,2031,146,4251,736,0152,430,4218,680,07512,152,10560,760,525
