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 63,606,179, 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 | 63,606,179 | |
| -1 | -63,606,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 63,606,179.
Example:
1 x 63,606,179 = 63,606,179
and
-1 x -63,606,179 = 63,606,179
Notice both answers equal 63,606,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 63,606,179 and divide it by 2:
63,606,179 ÷ 2 = 31,803,089.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,803,089.5 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 | 63,606,179 | |
| -1 | -63,606,179 |
Now, we try dividing 63,606,179 by 3:
63,606,179 ÷ 3 = 21,202,059.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,202,059.6667 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 | 63,606,179 | |
| -1 | -63,606,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
63,606,179 ÷ 4 = 15,901,544.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,901,544.75 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 | 63,606,179 | |
| -1 | 63,606,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 797 | 877 | 5,579 | 6,139 | 10,361 | 11,401 | 72,527 | 79,807 | 698,969 | 4,892,783 | 9,086,597 | 63,606,179 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -797 | -877 | -5,579 | -6,139 | -10,361 | -11,401 | -72,527 | -79,807 | -698,969 | -4,892,783 | -9,086,597 | -63,606,179 |
