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 61,897,895, 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 | 61,897,895 | |
| -1 | -61,897,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 61,897,895.
Example:
1 x 61,897,895 = 61,897,895
and
-1 x -61,897,895 = 61,897,895
Notice both answers equal 61,897,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 61,897,895 and divide it by 2:
61,897,895 ÷ 2 = 30,948,947.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 30,948,947.5 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 | 61,897,895 | |
| -1 | -61,897,895 |
Now, we try dividing 61,897,895 by 3:
61,897,895 ÷ 3 = 20,632,631.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,632,631.6667 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 | 61,897,895 | |
| -1 | -61,897,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
61,897,895 ÷ 4 = 15,474,473.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,474,473.75 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 | 61,897,895 | |
| -1 | 61,897,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 107 | 127 | 535 | 635 | 911 | 4,555 | 13,589 | 67,945 | 97,477 | 115,697 | 487,385 | 578,485 | 12,379,579 | 61,897,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -107 | -127 | -535 | -635 | -911 | -4,555 | -13,589 | -67,945 | -97,477 | -115,697 | -487,385 | -578,485 | -12,379,579 | -61,897,895 |
