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 61,032,559, 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 | 61,032,559 | |
| -1 | -61,032,559 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 61,032,559.
Example:
1 x 61,032,559 = 61,032,559
and
-1 x -61,032,559 = 61,032,559
Notice both answers equal 61,032,559
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 61,032,559 and divide it by 2:
61,032,559 ÷ 2 = 30,516,279.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,516,279.5 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 | 61,032,559 | |
| -1 | -61,032,559 |
Now, we try dividing 61,032,559 by 3:
61,032,559 ÷ 3 = 20,344,186.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,344,186.3333 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 | 61,032,559 | |
| -1 | -61,032,559 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
61,032,559 ÷ 4 = 15,258,139.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,258,139.75 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 | 61,032,559 | |
| -1 | 61,032,559 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 41 | 203 | 287 | 1,189 | 7,333 | 8,323 | 51,331 | 212,657 | 300,653 | 1,488,599 | 2,104,571 | 8,718,937 | 61,032,559 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -41 | -203 | -287 | -1,189 | -7,333 | -8,323 | -51,331 | -212,657 | -300,653 | -1,488,599 | -2,104,571 | -8,718,937 | -61,032,559 |
