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 60,802,235, 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 | 60,802,235 | |
| -1 | -60,802,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,802,235.
Example:
1 x 60,802,235 = 60,802,235
and
-1 x -60,802,235 = 60,802,235
Notice both answers equal 60,802,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,802,235 and divide it by 2:
60,802,235 ÷ 2 = 30,401,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,401,117.5 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 | 60,802,235 | |
| -1 | -60,802,235 |
Now, we try dividing 60,802,235 by 3:
60,802,235 ÷ 3 = 20,267,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,267,411.6667 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 | 60,802,235 | |
| -1 | -60,802,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,802,235 ÷ 4 = 15,200,558.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,200,558.75 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 | 60,802,235 | |
| -1 | 60,802,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 719 | 1,301 | 3,595 | 6,505 | 9,347 | 16,913 | 46,735 | 84,565 | 935,419 | 4,677,095 | 12,160,447 | 60,802,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -719 | -1,301 | -3,595 | -6,505 | -9,347 | -16,913 | -46,735 | -84,565 | -935,419 | -4,677,095 | -12,160,447 | -60,802,235 |
