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 63,601,097, 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 | 63,601,097 | |
| -1 | -63,601,097 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 63,601,097.
Example:
1 x 63,601,097 = 63,601,097
and
-1 x -63,601,097 = 63,601,097
Notice both answers equal 63,601,097
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 63,601,097 and divide it by 2:
63,601,097 ÷ 2 = 31,800,548.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,800,548.5 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 | 63,601,097 | |
| -1 | -63,601,097 |
Now, we try dividing 63,601,097 by 3:
63,601,097 ÷ 3 = 21,200,365.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,200,365.6667 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 | 63,601,097 | |
| -1 | -63,601,097 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
63,601,097 ÷ 4 = 15,900,274.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,900,274.25 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 | 63,601,097 | |
| -1 | 63,601,097 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 149 | 211 | 289 | 1,043 | 1,477 | 2,023 | 2,533 | 3,587 | 17,731 | 25,109 | 31,439 | 43,061 | 60,979 | 220,073 | 301,427 | 426,853 | 534,463 | 3,741,241 | 9,085,871 | 63,601,097 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -149 | -211 | -289 | -1,043 | -1,477 | -2,023 | -2,533 | -3,587 | -17,731 | -25,109 | -31,439 | -43,061 | -60,979 | -220,073 | -301,427 | -426,853 | -534,463 | -3,741,241 | -9,085,871 | -63,601,097 |
