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 57,170,659, 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 | 57,170,659 | |
| -1 | -57,170,659 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 57,170,659.
Example:
1 x 57,170,659 = 57,170,659
and
-1 x -57,170,659 = 57,170,659
Notice both answers equal 57,170,659
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 57,170,659 and divide it by 2:
57,170,659 ÷ 2 = 28,585,329.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 28,585,329.5 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 | 57,170,659 | |
| -1 | -57,170,659 |
Now, we try dividing 57,170,659 by 3:
57,170,659 ÷ 3 = 19,056,886.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 19,056,886.3333 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 | 57,170,659 | |
| -1 | -57,170,659 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
57,170,659 ÷ 4 = 14,292,664.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 14,292,664.75 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 | 57,170,659 | |
| -1 | 57,170,659 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 47 | 91 | 329 | 611 | 4,277 | 13,367 | 93,569 | 173,771 | 628,249 | 1,216,397 | 4,397,743 | 8,167,237 | 57,170,659 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -47 | -91 | -329 | -611 | -4,277 | -13,367 | -93,569 | -173,771 | -628,249 | -1,216,397 | -4,397,743 | -8,167,237 | -57,170,659 |
