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 60,937,439, 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 | 60,937,439 | |
| -1 | -60,937,439 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 60,937,439.
Example:
1 x 60,937,439 = 60,937,439
and
-1 x -60,937,439 = 60,937,439
Notice both answers equal 60,937,439
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 60,937,439 and divide it by 2:
60,937,439 ÷ 2 = 30,468,719.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,468,719.5 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 | 60,937,439 | |
| -1 | -60,937,439 |
Now, we try dividing 60,937,439 by 3:
60,937,439 ÷ 3 = 20,312,479.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,312,479.6667 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 | 60,937,439 | |
| -1 | -60,937,439 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
60,937,439 ÷ 4 = 15,234,359.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,234,359.75 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 | 60,937,439 | |
| -1 | 60,937,439 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 41 | 53 | 967 | 1,189 | 1,537 | 2,173 | 28,043 | 39,647 | 51,251 | 63,017 | 1,149,763 | 1,486,279 | 2,101,291 | 60,937,439 |
| -1 | -29 | -41 | -53 | -967 | -1,189 | -1,537 | -2,173 | -28,043 | -39,647 | -51,251 | -63,017 | -1,149,763 | -1,486,279 | -2,101,291 | -60,937,439 |
